Adoration I (ca. 1910), by Norwegian-Danish sculptor Stephan Abel Sinding.
I love the wild and free look of the young girl. Grandpa has a sword. The integration of the cultures was inevitable, and the approximate form of the Japanese Kimono has already been adopted. The main Photo and Comments about these fine folks are HERE : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/2746187012/ My entire AINU Set (still only a few photos) is HERE : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/sets/72157607060944155/ Both the Okinawans and the Ainu have plenty of bones to pick with the current occupying over-lords who control things from their bureaucratic bunkers in Tokyo. It's not unlike the Native "Indians" of the Americas who have a pile of bones to pick with the Europeans who over-ran them. Although everybody seems to agree that there's no going back, that's no excuse for the way people have been treated by the usurpers and over-runners during the endless centuries of human expansion. When it comes to recognizing the existence of the Ainu, the modern Japanese have, until very recently, been complete and total idiots over the matter.

19 year old college student, Riley Delton, somewhat ridiculously meets her end when she slips on a banana peel. She thought that that was the end for her, but immediately afterwards she wakes up in some strange forest in the middle of nowhere. It seems that 'The Gods that be' have decided to reincarnate her into a world filled with magic and kingdoms and handsome princes, so that with her knowledge of modern life and society she will be able to speed up this worlds slow development. Of course they won't send her in defenseless; they decide to give her many magical gifts and powers so that she will be able to live happily in this world and hopefully make her way up he ranks and influence it in a good direction. Good luck Riley. ~~~~~ Follow Riley as she becomes rooted in the kingdom of Girannon, reborn as a powerful Mage. PASSAGE FROM BOOK~~ "Suddenly I froze. Why on earth was I in the middle of some Forest? I should be in a hospital or at least still lying on the pavement where I slipped on that banana peel. Why was I here? Where was here?" (For anyone that reads manga or watches anime this is your typical isekai story) *This is my own story, not a translation* Inspired by 'I've been reincarnated into another world with my iphone' and many other isekai manga
