Шаблон:Nihongo, also known as or A Series of Paintings of Ainu Chieftains[1]Шаблон:Rp or Portraits of Ezo Chieftains,[2]Шаблон:Rp is a series of twelve painted portraits, dating to 1790, of Ainu elders in the aftermath of the Menashi–Kunashir rebellion. They are by the Japanese artist and Matsumae Domain retainer Kakizaki Hakyō (1764–1826). Eleven of the twelve paintings survive, in the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts et d'Archéologie de Besançon. A number of preparatory drawings and copies are to be found in collections in Japan. The clothing worn and other accoutrements depicted help cast light on late eighteenth-century connections between the indigenous inhabitants of Ezochi, the Wajin, China, and Russia.[1][3][4] The portrait of Ininkari from the series also represents the earliest known documentation of brown bears (Ursus arctos) with white pelage, the so-called "Ininkari bears" that are to be found on Kunashir (Kunashiri) and Iturup (Etorofu) in the disputed Southern Kurils.[5]

Historical background

Файл:1604 Ezo Trade Letter from Tokugawa Ieyasu to Matsumae Yoshihiro (Hokkaido Museum).jpg
Black seal letter of 1604 from shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu to Matsumae Yoshihiro, first daimyō of Matsumae Domain, granting the Domain exclusivity as intermediaries in trade with the people of Ezo (Hokkaido Museum)

In 1604, the Tokugawa shogunate granted the Matsumae Domain exclusivity in trade with the people of Ezo.[6] From the 1630s, these exchanges were managed through the so-called akinaiba chigyo sei [ja] trade-fief system,[7] which saw Ezochi demarcated into a number of trading posts (known as akinaiba or basho), each assigned to a senior vassal of the Matsumae clan, with exclusive rights to trade with the local Ainu.[1]Шаблон:Rp Following Shakushain's revolt and during the eighteenth century, this was gradually replaced by the basho ukeoi sei [ja] or subcontracted trading post system, with Japanese merchants granted rights to manage local trade on behalf of the Matsumae clan vassals, in exchange for commission.[1]Шаблон:Rp[7][8]Шаблон:Rp The outcome was loss of economic independence, as the Ainu increasingly became in effect labourers in fisheries and other businesses operated by Wajin merchants.[1]Шаблон:Rp[7]

In 1788, merchant Шаблон:Nihongo began commercial fishing operations in the Menashi-Kunashiri area, employing Ainu workers to catch salmon and trouth for use as fertilizer.[1]Шаблон:Rp Worked so hard that they had insufficient time to lay up food for the winter, food shortages combined with overbearing behaviour — including fishery supervisors making Ainu wives their mistresses — and suspicions of poisonings sparked the Menashi–Kunashir rebellion of May 1789.[1]Шаблон:Rp While local potentate Tsukinoe was away hunting sea otters on Uruppu, seventy-one Wajin were killed, twenty-two of them on Kunashiri, the rest in the Menashi area, all but one of them (a Matsumae Domain soldier) Hidaya employees.[1]Шаблон:Rp When news reached Matsumae at the beginning of June, daimyō Шаблон:Ill despatched 260 soldiers, who made their way east, recruiting local Ainu chieftains as they went.[1]Шаблон:Rp Arriving in the Nemuro area in July, over three hundred of those involved surrendered, and of the thirty-eight directly involved in the killings — including Tsukinoe's son Seppayabu — all but one (who had fled) were beheaded, their heads stored in salt.[1]Шаблон:Rp In the aftermath, Matsumae Michihiro commissioned the Ishūretsuzō series of portraits of twelve elders who had helped suppress the revolt.[4]Шаблон:Rp

Mautarake, with a beard, unbound hair, synophrys, sanpaku eyes, large ears and nose, and a hairy body; his robe is wrapped right over left

As was common in contemporary Ainu genre painting, the Ainu elders are depicted with stereotyped physiognomic and bodily deviations that emphasize their alterity, in particular hairiness — beards, unbound hair, hairy hands, hairy legs, hairy feet, a synophrys — also large noses and ears, and "sinister" sanpaku eyes.[4]Шаблон:Rp Moreover, their robes are wrapped right over left — known as Шаблон:Nihongo — a manner historically regarded as barbaric in the Sinosphere.[4]Шаблон:Rp[9] A wealth of ethnographic detail further emphasizes their "foreignness", including elm bark cloth Шаблон:Ill robes, with ayus thorn patterns; Шаблон:Nihongo mittens; boots of seal skin; cloth and blue bead earrings; a Шаблон:Nihongo; a shitoki necklace; a female mouth tatoo; Ezo nishiki Qing robes; Russian coats; and western-style shoes.[1][2][4]Шаблон:Rp
