  • Before paved roads, electricity, or modern medicine, Isabella Lucy Bird traveled to Japan to explore regions so infrequently traveled that they didn’t even appear on maps.
    After a months long trek through Northern Japan with her interpreter Ito, they took a boat to the bustling town of Hakodate, at the southern end of the Island of Hokkaido.
    They headed into Hokkaido's wilderness, Isabella spent three weeks of her journey living among the indigenous Ainu people. She had an incredible opportunity to get to know their culture, but unfortunately her prejudices often got in the way and she looked down on their culture.
    Still, Isabella's trip teaches us invaluable things about travel conditions in the late 1800s, Victorian-era attitudes, and gives us some insight into Ainu culture - although only through Isabella's limited viewpoint.

      Thanks for watching! Reading her book and then essentially re-reading for the research, I really felt like I was there along with her.

    I was watching NKN's Journeys in Japan and wanted backstory so YT algorithm gave me your anthro historical account, of which, I appreciate.
    Yett, ss a documentary format, less your person, even though perhaps a dashing & handsome fellow, distracts from the story. DA (David Attenborough) would say, focus on the subject is of paramount importance where your ego may want otherwise. We are in the business of unbiased, as much as humanly possible, dissemination of the narrative as we see it. Putting ones image juxtaposed with actual historical images may be counterproductive to your aim. Nevertheless, I understand your generation's proclivity and once again voice my appreciation of your work, especially espousing cultural biases when anthropocentric ideology created our world that we live in together, ad infinitum

      Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback! It's a stylistic choice but I appear on camera a lot less in my more recent videos.

    Pre-Kamakura period ruins exist in Hokkaido, Honshu, Okinawa, and all over Japan, except for the ruins of the Jomon people in Japan. There are no Ainu hut ruins in Japan. The Okhotsk bleached nomads, ``the tribe has already collapsed and collapsed,'' are a different race who were chased by the Mongolian army, invaded Hokkaido, and exterminated the Japanese Jomon people. The Okhotsk aliens who invaded Japan raped Japanese Jomon children, and Ainoko was born. The Ainu are descendants of this Ainoko. In archaeology, Ainu cultural remains have finally been unearthed from the 1200-year-old Kamakura period stratum in Hokkaido. During this period, 200 pit-style villages of hundreds of Japanese Jomon people were destroyed and amortized.
    The Inca, the indigenous people of South America, were destroyed by the Spanish army. At this time, he raped an Inca girl and made her give birth to an ainoko. This Ainoko is called mestizo, and is called a bastard with red hair and blue eyes by the indigenous people of the Incas. The Incas who escaped from the Spanish army are protected by the United Nations as Inca indigenous people. Show me why the Ainu, who were raped and given birth to Japanese Jomon girls by the Okhotsk bleached nomads who invaded during the Kamakura period, are indigenous people like the Incas! The Hokkaido University Ainu Genetic Research also proves genetic traces of raping Japanese Jomon girls in the Kamakura period and giving birth to many mixed-race children. His doctoral dissertation has been published. Those who can say that this scientific basis is a lie should come forward. If you tell a lie 100 times, it will become a fact.

      So you're saying that the Jomon people lived in Hokkaido until they were driven out by the Ainu? Interesting

      Correct. Anti-Japan activists, organizations and neighboring countries like N. Korea, S.Korea, China are actively working on propaganda campaigns to fabricate stories of Ainu, as indigenous victims, who were “persecuted” by Japanese and its government, which is actually opposite of what they say. Ainu is a big business-getting a huge fund from the government. Those NGOs, NPOs, activists, constructors, local politicians, local businesses are all getting funds and kickbacks from Japanese government. It is so-called “Ainu Concession”. Be careful when you talk about Ainu as you are unknowingly spreading disinformation, misinformation, and malinformtion!

    No Ainu can ever be found now.I believe they were exterminated....

      My understanding is that you can still find people with Ainu ancestry in Hokkaido but the culture is mostly assimilated with mainstream Japanese culture.
