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.
