Supporting
anthropologist
Brace
By JAMES ODA
_ Historical facts generally corro­
borate the main theme of anthro­
pologist Loring Brace on the origin
of the samurai class. The Ainu came
to Japanese archipelago several hun­
dreds years before the Koreans did.
They are descendants of the people i
broadly categorized as the Huns in
central Asia. They came through
Siberia, along the Amur River, cross­
ing the Sakhalin straits, then to Hok­
kaido, and further migrated through
Honshu and Kyushu to as far south
as Okinawa.
The Koreans, also descendants of
the Huns, came to Japan about 2,500
years ago by the way of Siberia, Man­
churia and the Korean Peninsula. The
bulk of them came en masse around
the 4th century becoming a domi­
nant group on the sparsely popu­
lated islands.
The spoken language was Korean,
but 25% of them understood Chi­
nese. It is assumed that the Ainu and
Koreans were capable of conversing
with each other awkwardly in the
early days because both of their
languages have foots in the Turkish
language that the Huns used.
Henceforth, in the course of 1,000
years of living side by side, they were assimilated to a great extent thus
forming a new Yamato race. This is
particularly true in the northern half
of Japan where the Ainu constituted
a majority. The Minamoto clan (Genji)
was made up of these people.
Some Ainu tribes refused to be
integrated, maintaining their own
custom and culture, thus isolating
themselves from the main stream of
Japanese society. Military campaigns
were often waged against them by
Shogunate forces; -:
Yoritomo Minamoto was named in .
’J1 92 the 'first Shogunate, governor of/
Japan after defeating the Taira clan.
He was the real ruler and the emperor
just a figurehead; Yet, he stayed
away from Kyoto and established his
government in Kamakura, a small
northern city. This was intended to
maintain its own identity and con­
tinue the warrior, tradition so as not
to be overwhelmed by the refined but
“decadent’. ’culture of Kyoto.
It can be easily assumed that the
Minamoto warriors had more body
hair, lighter skin and higher-bridged
noses, and since the Minamoto ruled
the country, it goes without saying
that other clans sought to recruit
Minamoto warriors. The fact that the
military ruler had to be a Minamoto
descendant in order to. become a
Shogunate governor supports Dr.
Braces's contention.
The Romans were savagely defeat­
ed by the Huns in the 5th century„yet
later on the Romans recruited a large
number of the Huns into their own
army ranks. Kublai Khan used a huge
army of Koreans in his attempt to in­
vade Japan. He likewise mobilized
millions of soldiers of conquered na­
tions tor overrun the world. So, one
should not be upset if it is contented
that the samurai class consisted of
Ainu halfbreeds. Former premier Na­
kasone, when accused of harboring
racial bias against Blacks and Mexi-.
cans, countered, “I myself may be
an Ainu descendant.”
The anthropological facts chal­
lenge the conviction of narrow­
minded Japanese traditionalists who
entertain the notion that the Japa- ■
nese race is of divine origin: a homo­
geneous nation of “pure” race that
has lived on their islands since the
beginning of time.
James Oda, Northridge Author of
“Kodai Nippon wa Shiruku Dord no J
Shuten”, or “Ancient Japan was Ter- ‘
minal Point of Silk Road”.
