This article offers a critical overview of research conducted by Japanese anthropologists on North East Africa over the past decade. Having faced internally postmodern criticism on writing ethnography and power relations between the researchers and the being researched on the one hand, and having observed the great transformation of society and massive predicaments of the people in the region on the other, each of them was obliged to reconsider the issue of "subject" and "object." This inevitably expanded their scope of study both in time and space, while firmly setting both legs in a specific locality or keeping our focus on a specific people. In this way, during the last decade, we have had a flow of new ethnographic studies, which has contributed to the development of anthropology in Japan and beyond.
