Excerpt from The Ainu and Their Folk-Lore

After 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 has been my aim throughout to let the Ainu themselves speak, while I have simply acted as translator in so far as the legends and folk-lore are concerned.

Excerpt from The Ainu and Their Folk-Lore

My book entitled The Ainu of Japan was written in the year 1889, and published three years later. Since then it has been my privilege to have had further experience of some twelve years' duration in the midst of the Ainu, altogether making a life among them of nearly twenty-five years.
