Footnotes

"This narrative was written shortly after completion of the Japanese Antarctic Expedition. Yamabe Yasunasuke joined the JAE at age 44 and served as dog driver during both phases of the expedition. Yasunasuke was Ainu and a cultural anthropologist with a focus on Eskimo and Japanese ethnic cultures. This book deals with his anthropological interests but includes a 38-page section covering his experiences with the JAE." (Ross).
