The word "Ainu" is used once in the story with no reference to them being of African descent. They were only referred to as one of the theories as to where Sakanoue no Tamuramaro might hsve descended from. Please review the story to see that I have not claimed the Ainu were of African descent.

Also, where Black people are noticably missing is among the Jesuits and the crews of the Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese ships that during that era didn't go anywhere without their slaves. My story is more about the whitewashing of the Europeans and says nothing to demean the Japanese. I'm saying they were present and excluded from the story, do you believe they weren't there?
