    ABSTRACTS release 130718 15th-20th July 2018, Warsaw, Poland Mika Abe INDEX 2-1-1, Higashimita, Tama-ku, Kawasaki-shi, Kanagawa, Japan 214-8580 Senshu University Are the original inhabitants completely different from “us” in nature?—a research of the case in Japan through the publications and the guidebooks in early-modern times One of the original inhabitants in Japan is Ainu who have lived in Ezo (the name after modern times is not Ezo but Hokkaido, located in the northern part of Japan). Ezo and Ainu have been recognized as “different” from the “mainland” in Japan and the people who have lived there. It is true that the people in “mainland” considered Ezo a “foreign land” and did unjust trade with Ainu in early-modern times. In modern times a cruel law deprived Ainu of their own cultures, rights and dignity. Actually Ainu have many unique cultures and social customs such as original patterns and belief in bears etc. However, do Ezo and Ainu have only heterogeneity? Don’t they have similarity with “mainland” at all? In this paper the author does not regard heterogeneity as entirely natural, but presents the similarity between Ezo (Ainu) and the “mainland” in Japan. The methodology of this paper is as follows: 1. Comparing the several old publications (books of early modern times) which the cultures and customs, etc. appeared in about Ainu with the ones about the people in “mainland”. 2. Comparing the old guidebook of Ezo with the one of Edo (the capital of Japan at that time). The result is that some simi- larities between Ezo (Ainu) and the “mainland” (the people) are found such as the way of using crops, education, and a point of view to beautiful and noticeable landscapes.
