Fushigi no Kuni no Bird Manga Summary:
Scottish adventuress Isabella Bird journeys to Japan in 1878 a
nd becomes the first Westerner to travel to many remote locations,
heading northward towards Hokkaido to study the aboriginal Ainu people.
Based on a true story.
As it says based on the True Story of Isbella Bird in early
Meji Japan traveling up the Western Coast of Japan to Hokkaido.
I have read the book and it is a good one though old and perhaps
hard to find,
Reading the manga or the book about her will be a great
experience for it shows how much Japan has progressed since
Bird took her arduous journey.
Here is my little note from reading the book!
> Unbeaten Tracks in Japan by Isabella Bird SFPL 915.2
> Travels the length of Japan in 1878 including the island
> of Hokkaido then called Yezo. Amazing traveler putting
> up with very difficult conditions in a pre-modern setting.
> Lots of use as reference to the conditions in Meji, Japan
> 10 years or so into the reforms with much of the old Japan
> being observed and reported in detail, travels among the
> Ainu of Yezo.
And the manga is online. I just looked into the first chapter
and my net connection is slow this AM.
