Yusuke Hashiba
Japanese archaeologist, historian and anthropologist (1851-1921)
Yusuke Hashiba (羽柴 雄輔, Hashiba Yūsuke; 22 June 1851 – 5 December 1921) was a Japanese archaeologist, historian and anthropologist.
He was an expert in the Edo period of the samurai, and was also particularly knowledgeable about Japanese folklore, in which he has been referenced in several publications. From the 1880s he was much involved with the Anthropological Association in Tokyo, publishing a number of works, and was one of the founders of the Ou Anthropological Association in November 1890.

Why this record matters
The phrase “japanese archaeologist, historian and anthropologist (1851-1921)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q11610210. VIAF identifies the subject as 260522359. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1851, 1921 and 1890.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
