Abstract

Bronislaw Pilsudski (1866-1918) was one of the true pioneers of Northeast-Asian Indigenous Studies. This paper identifies twelve news items carried by Japanese newspapers during 1903-1939 as relating to Pilsudski. Items 1 to 4 report on Pilsudski's two-month-long fieldwork among the Hokkaido Ainu in 1903, whilst 5 to 9 concern his seven-month stopover in Japan, in 1906, before his return to Europe. All nine are presented in this issue (No. 91). Items 10 to 12, to be published in the succeeding No. 92, essentially deal with the story of Pilsudski's widow and the two children left behind in Sakhalin after his departure in 1905. Two Polish journalists, Aleksander Janta-Polczynski and Aleksander Piskor, allegedly on a mission from Poland's leader, Marshal Jozef Pilsudski (Bronislaw's younger brother), were reported in 1934 and 1939 respectively, as having conceived a plan to find the bereaved family in the Japanese "Southern Sakhalin." The first of them was able to meet the family in 1934, whereas the second was likely to have been prevented from carrying out his plan due to the successive political and military upheavals of 1939.
