| Summary | "The Ainu Group at the Saint Louis Exposition" by Frederick Starr is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's journey to Japan, specifically to the northern island of Yezo, to bring a group of the Ainu people to the St. Louis Exposition. The narrative captures aspects of Ainu life, culture, and the challenges faced by the group during their preparation for the exhibition. The opening of the book sets the stage for Starr's expedition to Japan, where he describes the scheme of transporting Ainu individuals for a cultural showcase. He recounts the intricate details of his journey through Japan amidst the backdrop of political turmoil, including the outbreak of war with Russia. Alongside his Mexican photographer, Starr travels from Tokyo to various Ainu villages, introducing the reader to the unique customs, environments, and appearances of the Ainu people. He reflects on his initial interactions with the Ainu, as well as their traditional practices, showcasing both their beauty and the challenges they face while being thrust into new realms far from their homes.
