Excerpt from The Koropok-Guru, or Pit-Dwellers of North Japan: And a Critical Examination of the Nomenclature of YezoA question has often presented itself to my mind with regard to the kitchen middens as proof of antiquity. It is this. These pots, jars and cu ps are made of sun-dried clay, not burnt. I cannot think that sun-dried vessels could last under ground in a damp climate such as this for many hundreds of years. Surely the frost and dam...

Excerpt from The Koropok-Guru or Pit-Dwellers of North Japan, And, a Critical Examination of the NomenclatureIn previous addresses before the German Anthropological Congress in 1885 and five years ago before this society I have considered the eastern Asiatic race peculiarities in detail and have distinguished in Japan three essential elements: First, the north or true Mongolian type, second, the south Mongolian or Malayan type, and third, the ...

Excerpt from An Ainu-English-Japanese Dictionary: Including a Grammar of the Ainu LanguageAs the work was printed by a Japanese firm at Tokyo, nearly a thousand miles from the writer's home in Sapporo, the table of errata will be found to be considerably larger than it would have been had he been in a position to see the proofs oftener. This must be the excuse for so long a list, for which, also, every apology is made. The errata belonging to ...

Excerpt from The Ainu and Their Folk-LoreAfter thinking the matter well over, I came to the conclusion that it would be better to write a new book, especially as I had in hand a large quantity of new material in the way of legends and folk-lore. The present production is not, therefore, simply the old volume revised (though much has been quoted from it), but a new book with the mistakes found in the old one rectified as far as known. And it ha...

Excerpt from The Ainu of Japan: The Religion, Superstitions, and General History of the Hairy Aborigines of Japan The major portion of the chapters contained in this volume were not originally intended for publication, but were written as letters to relatives, who naturally take a great interest in Mission work, especially in Japan.
