These are old images of the pure blood aborigines of Japan, while tens of thousands of them still survived. Do they look European? They have traced none in their blood, this is actually what they looked like. They eventually intermixed with the Japanese, but here is a glimpse of those that weren't. John Batchelor was an Anglican missionary to these people, known as the Ainu, and he wrote books on them and their culture and their treatment by the Japanese. It is sad, it was disgusting and degrading. I find the Japanese culture interesting, but this is sickening. He was around when there were at least 18,000 in Hokkaido. They once flourished in the mainland, now inhabited by the Japanese.
