Ainu Creed & Cult

Series: English

Ainu Creed and Cult was the first detailed account of the Ainu to be written by either a westerner or a Japanese. In this book, Munro's object in writing it was not only to give an account of his careful observations of the people and their customs, but also to demonstrate to the world at large that the Ainu had an independent culture that deserved respect and preservation.
