Description
English: Palace reception near Hakodate in 1751. Ainu bringing gifts.
Description: Bowing low - even as they do today in greeting and farewell - two bearded Ainu approach a Japanese overlord surrounded by retainers. A woodblock print records the palace reception near Hakodate in 1751. The Ainu, gringing gifts of furs and salmon, will dine on fish, sweet cakes and saki. Although the Ainu then held all of Hokkaidó, a powerful Japanese clan, the Matsumae, contolled fishing and trading, and exacted high tribute.
