Grade 3-6
The Ainu: A Story Of Japans Original People by Kayano Shigeru is an absorbing account of Japans indigineous people, whose legends and presence stretch back before the coming of the ethnic Japanese population before recorded history from what is now known as the Chinese mainland and the Korean penninsula. Presenting both the unique aspects of Ainu culture and the modern realities of how Ainu live today in a straightforward and friendly tone with soft yet realistic color illustrations, The Ainu: A Story Of Japans Original People is very highly recommended.
