| Refsing, K: Early European Writings on Ainu Culture |
|
|
Europeans and Americans were attracted to the mystery of the origins of the Ainu language, race, and culture, and many attempts were made to solve this mystery. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Hokkaido was still not easily accessible, and both female and male scholars and adventurers set out to prove their bravery by making their way through the wilderness to bring back reports of 'the hairy Ainu'. Travellers especially noted the gentleness and hospitality of the Ainu, but also their lack of hygiene and their often strange customs.
