Alone With the Hairy Ainu: 3,800 Miles on a Pack Saddle in Yezo and the Cruise to the Kurile Islands

Arnold Henry Savage Landor (1865 - 26 December 1924) was an English painter, explorer, writer and anthropologist, born in Florence. Landor then went to Vancouver where, aged 27 in 1889, he embarked for Yokohama, Japan. In the course of this visit to Japan made a journey to the largely unexplored Island of Hokkaido, where he studied the customs of the indigenous Ainu people. He made several paintings and subsequently wrote Alone with the Hairy Ainu (1893).
