- W4360783460 abstract "Edward Sylvester Morse was born in Portland, Maine, U.S.A. in 1838. Although he worked mainly as a draftsman and did not go to university, Morse’s research—which he had been passionate about since childhood (e.g., collecting shells)—caught the attention of Louis Agassiz, a renowned naturalist, thus launching his career as a zoologist. A singularly gifted lecturer on popular science, Morse used the money from his winter lectures to pursue vigorous research at his own expense, and he gained sufficient fame as both a scholar and a proponent of evolutionism, to be elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the equivalent of the Academy of Sciences in 1876. Three visits to Japan between 1877 and 1883 marked a turning point in Morse’s life. The discovery of the Ōmori shell mound and a deep interest in Japanese ceramics and Japanese culture that was aroused during his visit to Japan led Morse to become a Japanologist rather than a zoologist. Morse wrote several excellent books on Japan, including Japanese Homes and Their Surroundings (1886) and Japan Day by Day (1917), and also gave numerous lectures on Japan, promoting understanding of Japan from a pro-Japanese standpoint. Morse’s collection of Japanese ceramics (in the Museum of Fine Arts Boston) and Japanese folklore (in the Peabody Museum, Salem) are both world-renowned. He died in 1925." @default.
