The first two (of three) illustrated fairy tales of the Aino (i.e. Ainu) people, as told by Basil Hall Chamberlain (1850-1935), a notable British scholar of Japanese culture who lived in Japan between 1873-1911 under the status of a O-yatoi Gaikokujin. The Aino series did not catch on and was discontinued after the third issue.
