Boshin War

>>3083244
Hey not bad

Are there any good books on the war in English? I'd recommend OP read a book on the subject as it'll have more information.

>>3083239
Why do these guys look so dark?
Are they from the south or something?

>>3083681
first off they are standing infront of a white background and wear bright clothes, as such they appear darker
second they are from Satsuma(Kyushu) and that's the southern tip of mainland japan

>>3083701
Those other background effects hardly influence what I'm seeing
>second they are from Satsuma(Kyushu) and that's the southern tip of mainland japan
That is literally what I was asking. Just that sentence was all you needed to reply with actually.

I have a document with derailed ethnographies of many different Ainu tribes in Hokkaido. If I can find it soon. I will post. If you have access to jstor journals you may find it there if you're interested.

"A revolution is forcing the Military Mission to return to France. Alone I stay, alone I wish to continue, under new conditions: the results obtained by the Mission, together with the Party of the North, which is the party favorable to France in Japan. Soon a reaction will take place, and the Daimyos of the North have offered me to be its soul. I have accepted, because with the help of one thousand Japanese officers and non-commissioned officers, our students, I can direct the 50,000 men of the Confederation."
