Sorry I bring Ugyur here, but since @Nihonjin1051 bring Ainu so, I think it is still related to explain better his point



Ugyur kid (The smaller girl face is really cute, just innocent face )

Ainu Women (The eyes are not like ordinary Japanese, it is the only difference on this picture, but maybe I am wrong though since some Japanese woman also has bigger eyes, but the shape is not like Mongoloid one )

Bro, if you ever have the chance to visit Northern Japanese Island of Hokkaido, there are 4 main subprefectures in the north of the island that have a strong Ainu or Ainu-mixed population, these are : Abashiri Shicho, Kamikawa Shicho, Tokachi Shicho and Nemuro-Kishiro Shicho --- the people there do not look like traditional Japanese beauty as in say Osaka, Tokyo, Saitama, Nagasaki --- they have unique, very very unique features. In fact, my grandfather on my mother's side had hazel eyes, and my uncle (my mother's brother) has light blue eyes.

An example of some of the look in the deep north of Japan: btw, northern Japanese tend to be much taller, harrier, lighter eyes, larger and pronounced forehead:

They look White to me. They can be mistaken easily for Central or Eastern Europeans.

Beautiful !!!

Hahaha. Its funny because in the past, Ainu Japanese were once stereotyped as backwards and even considered 'Gaijin' (a term used to refer to foreigners) by mainland Japanese. Nowadays, the Eurasian beauty of Ainu Japanese are now highly sought after in Japan. Many of the rising actors or models in Japan have the so called Northern Japanese features.

In the past they used to put down my people, now, they are appraising , idolizing our beauty...LOL

It was said that the Emishi is stronger than Yamato...

Yes, arguably, they were one of the earliest threat to Yamato domination of the entire Japanese Archipelago during the early years. There is a famous battle known as -- 三十八年戦争-- or the Thirty Eight Year War. It was a war that saw the most astonishing defeat of the Imperial Army. In fact there is the famous Battle of Koromo River, which took place around 789 AD, when the Imperial Army was soundly defeated , sending panic throughout the country, the emishi general named 阿弖流爲 or -- Aterui and his Army raised many parts of the country. Eventually, however, the emishi were 'tamed', gradual assimilation was seen through land policies. In fact, some Japanese anthropologists would claim that the emishi or the Jomon were not eradicated by the Yamato people, rather, they fused with the Yamato in Honshu. Yamato bred with them , literally breeding them into our own.

There is a strong presence of Christian Orthodoxy in Hokkaido, especially in the northern subprefectures. The close proximity to Russia has , definitely, been the conduit of Western philosophy , especially religious influence. Christianity is growing in Hokkaido, as there are also Roman Catholicism and Protestant Christian denominations growing --- Methodist, Presbyterian, Born Again etc.

No presence of Islam ?

What is Japan's mainland?

Well, it was suppose to be where Korea and China's northeast Manchuria is. But it didn't go as they planned it. lol

I jest, I jest. lol

no not kashmir- bur Gilgit Baltistan.. those people arent kashmiri.. ethnically or culturally or historically.

Take that back !

They are my people !

On a mere technicality because GB is a part of the disputed princely state of Jammu and Kashmir !

But its true even my friends from GB are like 'We're not Kashmiris....make us a Province of Pakistan...for heaven's sake' !

 

[Aepsilons]

No presence of Islam ?

hehe, there's a lot of Muslims especially near Saitama, a city close to Tokyo. Islam is growing as well as Christianity. Its an example of how peacefully Muslims, Christians, Buddhist, Shintoist, (even Jews!) and non-practicing folks get along in Japan. To each his or her own in terms of personal faith...the uniting part is that they're all Japanese.
