Summary: "Alone with the Hairy Ainu" by A. H. Savage Landor is a travel memoir written in the late 19th century. This engaging narrative chronicles the author's extraordinary journey across Hokkaido, Japan, delving into the customs and lifestyle of the Ainu people, who are described as "hairy men." Landor's observations and experiences aim to contribute to the fields of anthropology and ethnology, offering a unique perspective on a culture that was little understood at the time. At the start of the memoir, the author reflects on his motivations for undertaking the arduous journey alone, which combined a desire for adventure and personal insight. After arriving in Hakodate, he quickly learns of the challenges that await him, including difficult terrain and minimal accommodations. As he encounters the Ainu in their villages, he describes their living conditions, customs, and practices—often with a mix of fascination and repulsion. His initial interactions with the Ainu are marked by cultural misunderstandings, particularly surrounding his artistic endeavors, which lead to humorous and sometimes dangerous situations. This opening portion sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Ainu culture, as Landor embarks on a journey filled with personal anecdotes, vivid descriptions, and insightful commentary.
