Sadler in 1922 while at the University of Sydney

Arthur Lindsay Sadler (1882–1970) was Professor of Oriental Studies at the University of Sydney.[1]

Life and career

Sadler was born in Hackney, London and educated at the University of Oxford (B.A., 1908; M.A., 1911).[1] From 1909 he worked in Japan as a teacher and was an active member of the Asiatic Society of Japan.

Sadler was the Professor of Oriental Studies at the University of Sydney from 1922–48 (his predecessor being the foundation professor, James Murdoch).[2] He also taught at the Royal Military College of Australia.[2]

His publications included English translations of the The Ten Foot Square Hut (the Hōjōki) (1928) and the Heike Monogatari (1928), The Art of Flower Arrangement in Japan (1933), A Short History of Japanese Architecture (1941), Maker of Modern Japan: The Life of Tokugawa Ieyasu (1937), an English translation of The Code of The Samurai: Budo Shoshinshu into English (1941; 1988), and Cha-No-Yu: The Japanese Tea Ceremony (1962).

After retirement from the University of Sydney (his successors in the professorship being John Kennedy Rideout in 1948[2] and then by A. R. Davis in 1949),[3] Sadler returned to England and settled in the Essex village of Great Bardfield. At Bardfield he became friendly with several of the Great Bardfield Artists. He spent his final years living in Great Bardfield at Stubbards Croft and later at Buck's House.

Personal life

In 1916 he married Eva Botan Seymour (1893-1978), an Anglo-Japanese, in Tokyo. They would have no children.[4]
