CHAPTER XII I BEAR-HUNTING The Ainu consider bear-hunting the most manly, ex citing, and useful way in which a person can possibly spend his time. It was certainly a very brave act to go and attack a bear with the very poor weapons the Ainu formerly used, and it must have been very exciting. Think, for instance, of attacking a she-bear, which had her cubs with her, with nothing but a long knife and a bow and a few arrows! It is quite true the arrows were poisoned, but the poison takes time before its effects are fe

Religion--continued. (c) Heaven And Hell. Heaven in Hades--Gehenna--A journey to Hades. The place to which good people go after death is called Kamui kotan, 'the place of God, ' and Kamni moshiri, 'the kingdom of God, ' or 'the world of God.' When persons go to this place, they live for ever in a state of supreme happiness. Though perhaps far away under this earth, they can see us, and they ever take a lively interest in all that is going on in this world. They also have power to send punishments upon those of their families who misbehave themselves, and peace to those who are good and kind; and this power they are said to frequently exercise. Though the material heavens are above us, yet heaven, the place of happiness, is below. All are agreed that it is a locality in which the gods have their special home, and where all men who do that which is good and right will go when they leave the world. People in heaven do not lose their personal identity. The Ainu notion of heaven is therefore not at all the Buddhistic, which represents every person as being absorbed into the deity itself. Hades, or the intermediate state, is called pokna moshiri, 'the under world, ' or 'the world below.' All spirits go first to this place when they leave the body. Hades, however, is not generally believed to be a purgatory, though some think it may be; but upon going there the spirits, which are always spoken of as possessing a body exactly like the present one (though whether it is of a spiritual or material nature is not stated), are told to which division of the place they must go, whether to the place of the just or the wicked. In the centre of Hades there are said to be three roads. The first leads from the earth upon which we live, and which

Book Synopsis The Ainu of Japan by : John Batchelor
Download or read book The Ainu of Japan written by John Batchelor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ainu of Japan: The Religion, Superstitions, and General History of the Hairy Aborigines of Japan The major portion of the chapters contained in this volume were not originally intended for publication, but were written as letters to relatives, who naturally take a great interest in Mission work, especially in Japan. But, before I had finished the series, it was thought by my friends that what I was writing for private perusal might perhaps prove interesting to the public if put into book form. Hence the appearance of this work. Moreover, having received many letters inquiring about the Ainu - some asking questions concerning their manners and customs, others about their religion, and some, again, of their special superstitions - I have the more readily fallen in with the suggestion. Some of the chapters contained in this book com prise short articles and legends which I have published elsewhere, but which are not easily obtainable. The greater part of the volume, however, is entirely new. Many of the illustrations which enrich the volumeare from photographs; but my best thanks are due to my Wife and helper for the great assistance she has rendered me in the matter of drawing the large number reproduced from her sketches. No doubt a very great deal more might be said about the Ainu, and I feel that only the outside of the subject has been touched in this book. The subsequent chapters are merely notes by the way. They have been set down at odd times, and collected as the writer has had cause to inquire into things whilst prosecuting his special work amongst the Ainu. But his object will be attained if it leads his readers to appreciate the good points of this strange race; and, above all, if it leads them to feel renewed interest in the efforts that are being made to bring them under the civilising influence and the saving grace of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
