Where's the Ainu?

Post by mhirtes »

It's been a gloomy weekend here, so I decided to go back and reread all of my available UY books, when a thought occured to me. Usagi seems to have traveled up and down the empire by now, but as yet hasn't come across anything Ainu (Japan's indiginous culture, similar to America's own native peoples) yet.

Well, since Usagi IS supposed to be heading north right now, maybe there's a good chance, eh Stan? :)

The Ainu are really far north, Hokkaido actually. Usagi has never traveled so far and won't for awhile, especially with winter coming on in the stories.
