Tell me about Emishi culture /his/. I know it was basically derived from Jomon but from what I read from wiki and another, apparently their culture was not too different from the kufon period and then early Yayoi Japanese in the area. They borrowed from each other particularly in terms of rice farming.
There is apparently a thought that eventually as they were driven up further north by the Japanese in the 10th and 11th centuries, they developed a sort of pre Ainu culture culture called satsuma culture. It was more so in southern Hokkaido where some eventually moved from the main land by the 1200s. Is there truth to this and any other sources I can read to learn more?
Was Princess Mononoke's portrayal of them even close to accurate?

It's not uncommon for a people to adopt the culture of a more successful neighbour. Racially they were aboriginal Yomon like the Aino, albeit probably with some Yayoi inmixing.

I want to know if their culture really was a type of precursor for Ainu. It would make sense;anytime I look up Emishi, I basically find more about Ainu (likely more because their culture is still present at least a currently). As if Ainu are the remnants of Emishi in some way, though it seems like an over simplification.
I wish I could find more about satsumon culture.
I found this one article from a journal but literally only 5% of it was written in English for some reason.
Bump.

what i've heard is that they were jomon descendants who later interacted/mixed with native siberian cultures coming to hokkaido from the north which eventually resulted in the ainu culture

I see.
I guess to learn about their culture you just study Ainu culture and Jomon plus kufon culture?
All the other sources I found online weren't all in English for some reason.
