. Wild brother; strangest of true stories from the north woods. ck whowere the original inhabitants of the Japaneseislands, and who now, in dwindling numbers, liveon the island of Yezo. It is an ancient belief of theAinus that they are descended from the bear, theanimal that plays the most prominent part in cer-tain of their religious ceremonies.
