Keigo Seki

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Seki Keigo (関敬吾 1899 - 1990) was a Japanese folklorist. He was influenced by Yanagita Kunio but often came to different conclusions regarding the same folktales. Along with collecting and compiling folktales, Seki also arranged them into a series of categories.
