Chapter 448 One-knife samurai Ogata Yoshiki and the bear hunter [8500 words]
After agreeing to Baosheng to be a guest of their sword hall for more than a month, Ogata's remaining days became regular.
In the morning, we first went to the Minamoto Tachibana House to complete his kabuki script with Nishino Jiro.
In the afternoon, Nishino Jiro went to help the family, while Ogata went to the Hosei Sword Hall to gain experience... ah, no, he gave pointers to the apprentices of the Hosho Sword Hall, and gained experience along the way.
In addition to teaching Katori Shinto style swordsmanship, Hosei Kenkan also teaches Katori Shinto style jujutsu.
Therefore, the apprentices at Baosheng Sword Hall are all trained in swordsmanship and jujitsu.
Some apprentices major in swordsmanship, and some major in jujitsu.
Therefore, in addition to teaching them swordsmanship, Ogata also taught them jujitsu.
Although Ogata was not very good at preaching, teaching, and solving doubts, he was more than enough to teach them some of what he had learned from fighting to the death one after another, and the experience he had accumulated against the enemy.
This kind of teaching of fighting experience cannot be done with words.
It would be better to say that swordsmanship is a skill that cannot be mastered by teaching it by mouth or ears.
The best way to pass on the practical experience you have accumulated is undoubtedly through practical combat.
Through actual combat, the apprentices of the Baosheng Sword Hall can gain a personal understanding and learn the experience of fighting to the death, which is very precious in peaceful times.
While imparting his own experience against the enemy through actual combat, Ogata was also able to earn a lot of experience openly by relying on these battles with his apprentices.
Although everyone in the Baosheng Sword Hall is not very strong, there is not much experience gained after each battle.
The one with the weakest strength, after Ogata defeated him, he only gained 10 experience points in his personal level experience bar.
But fortunately, there are enough apprentices in Baosheng Sword Hall.
With this relatively considerable amount as a base, Ogata's experience bars are steadily increasing.
The owner of the Hosei Sword Hall, the owner of the Hosei Sword Hall, is not only broad-minded enough to invite Ogata, a kicker, to be the swordsmanship instructor of the swordsmanship hall, but he also has a humble heart.
These days, the owner of the Hosei Hall often accepts Ogata's guidance with an open mind.
The owner's modesty and acceptability also led the apprentices in the museum to become more active in seeking advice from Ogata.
Even the owner of the museum is so humble. Even at such an old age, he is still not ashamed to ask: How can we students lag behind the master?
This is the voice of many students in the library.
In the process of teaching swordsmanship to the masters and apprentices of the Hosei Sword Hall, Ogata unknowingly got the nickname "One-Sword Samurai".
This nickname was given to him by the apprentices of Baosheng Sword Hall.
Because no matter who Ogata fights, he will kill him with one blow.
No one can catch Ogata's sword, and no one can dodge Ogata's sword. Not even their master can block or dodge Ogata's sword.
On the first day after Ogata officially became a diner at their Hosei Sword Hall, the owner of the Hosei Hall also asked Ogata for advice because his hands were itchy.
And his result was the same as that of his apprentices, who were killed instantly by Ogata.
Gradually, the apprentices at the Hosei Sword Hall began to call Ogata the "One-Sword Samurai".
Baosheng Sword Hall will be closed after dark.
Therefore, after dark, Ogata would leave the sword hall and return to the hotel to start learning "Ezo" with Atachi.
Before leaving Edo, Ogata bought a copy of "Teaching Common Phrases in Ezo" from the owner of the Hoifazeya shop where Kondo worked part-time at a very low price.
I have been busy traveling some time ago, so I didn't have much time to study.
Therefore, Ogata and Omachi plan to learn the common expressions of Ezo during their temporary stay in Nishikino Town.
Once you learn the language of Ezo, you may be able to put it to some unexpected use when you get to Ezo.
After studying late at night, Omoto will start to do things with Atachi every day after the body's injuries are almost healed.
Ogata is 21 years old and Omachi is 18 years old.
They are all at the age where they "eat the marrow and know the taste" and feel hungry and thirsty.
The two explore each other's physical limits every day.
This sentence is perfect to describe Ogata's life these days. He practices swordsmanship no matter day or night.
…
…
The second year of Kanzheng (1790 AD), November 29, night
As a town with a population of nearly 100,000, Nishikino Town naturally has no shortage of bathhouses.
In the towns of the Edo period, only wealthy families had bathrooms in their homes.
Middle- and lower-level samurai and ordinary citizens generally did not have bathrooms at home. If they wanted to take a bath, they had to take a bath in the large bathhouse in the town.
Therefore, the large bathhouse is one of the most essential facilities in every town.
The hotel where Ogata and Amachi stayed did not provide bathroom services, which made Ogata very regretful.
However, there is a bathhouse not far from the hotel.
Ogata and Omachi have been bathing in this bathhouse these days.
Later, when we go to a wild and smoky place like Ezochi, we may never have the chance to take a bath again.
Therefore, Ogata and Omachi have been taking baths very frequently recently, and they want to take a bath comfortably while they still have the conditions, so they can take a few more baths as soon as possible.
Tonight, after eating dinner, Ogata and Atachi came to the bathhouse to take a bath again as usual.
Since Matsudaira Sadanobu, who was determined to revitalize the shogunate, took office, he has carried out reforms of varying degrees in many fields such as economy and culture.
Regarding people's livelihood, Matsudaira Sadanobu also issued many reform orders.
For example, Matsudaira Sadanobu restructured bathhouses across the country.
In the past, many bathhouses were for mixed bathing, with no distinction between men's baths and women's baths.
So at that time, the happiest time of the day for many old people was when they went to the bathhouse to take a bath.
Soaking in the warm water, staring at the mouth of the pomegranate with the "like-minded" comrades around me, expecting that the next person to enter the bath will be a young and beautiful girl.
After Matsudaira Tadanobu took over as Laozhong and took over the power of the country, he believed that bathhouses did not distinguish between men and women, which was really offensive to morals, corrupted the morals, and degenerated people's spirits.
Therefore, with the stroke of a pen, all bathhouses across the country must be divided into men's baths and women's baths, and there must no longer be mixed-sex bathhouses.
After this order was issued, those mixed-sex bathhouses quickly began to renovate and make improvements.
Nowadays, there are almost no bathhouses in the country where men and women can bathe together.
According to Ogata's knowledge, since Matsudaira Sadanobu launched this "bathhouse reform", from samurai to ordinary civilians, it seems that quite a lot of people hate Matsudaira Sadanobu and hope that Matsudaira Sadanobu can step down as soon as possible.
At the same time, I also heard that since there were no mixed bathhouses for men and women, the business of many bathhouses that were originally mixed bathing has suddenly deteriorated.
For this reason, it is not difficult to guess that many old perverts have lost the motivation to take baths again.
If there is no way to look at a woman's body anymore, what's the point of taking a bath in the rest of her life?
Therefore, after the "bathhouse reform" was released, many old pornographic critics who had lost their dreams were "unable to recover".
Ogata did not dislike Matsudaira Sadanobu's "bathhouse reform".
Not only am I not disgusted with it, I also think it is a rare example of benevolent and good governance.
Just like he still can't appreciate Tsukiyotou, Ogata still has difficulty understanding why people in this era can accept mixed bathing between men and women, and think it is not strange for men and women to bathe together.
After saying goodbye to Omachi in front of the bathhouse, Orimachi entered the men's bath on the left, while Omachi entered the women's bath on the right.
The layout of the bathhouse where Ogata and Omachi often come to bathe recently is a very common bathhouse layout nowadays.
There are two floors up and down. The first floor is a place for bathing, and the second floor is a rest room. Guests after taking a bath can go to the second floor to take a rest, but only men can go up to the second floor to rest.
There are 2 entrances and exits on the first floor, and both entrances and exits are hung with cloth curtains.
These two door curtains are hung at different entrances and exits. One of them has the words "Men's Soup" and the other has the words "Female Soup".
"Soup" in Japanese has many meanings, one of which means "bath".
There is no doubt that there is a thick wooden wall separating the "male soup" and the "female soup". Apart from hearing some sounds coming from the "female soup", Lao Sepi can't do or see anything.
.
Regardless of whether it is a "men's bath" or a "women's bath", the interior layout is similar. After paying the money at the counter, you first go to the undressing room to take off your clothes, and then go to the shower room to wash your body.
Behind the shower room is the bathtub for bathing.
The opening connecting the shower room and the bathtub is commonly known as the "Pomegranate Opening".
Only after washing your body in the shower room can you go through the "pomegranate mouth" and take a bath in the bathtub.
After quickly taking off his clothes and briefly washing his body in the shower room, Ouri passed through the pomegranate mouth and prepared to enter the bathtub to take a bath.
It's probably around 8 o'clock in the evening. In the Edo period, this was the busiest time for bathhouses.
Just after passing through the pomegranate entrance and entering the steamy bathhouse, Oubang saw that 60% of the space in the bathhouse was already filled with people.
The water temperature was slightly hot when I tested it with my fingers, but in the winter, the water temperature was just right.
After immersing the area below his neck in the hot water, Ogata swam to a place where there were not so many people, and quietly enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by the warm bath water.
The human skin mask on Ogata's face is of really high quality, it just looks fake, and it's not afraid of getting wet by water vapor.
Thanks to the high quality of the human skin mask, Ogata was able to take a bath in the bathhouse so openly these days.
After soaking until the skin of his fingers became slightly wrinkled, Ogata got up from the bath.
I wiped my body clean, then went to the undressing room and put on the change of clothes I brought.
Atachi's bathing time is longer than Ogata's.
So after changing his clothes, Oubon went to the second floor of the bathhouse, preparing to rest on the second floor of the bathhouse while waiting for Omachi to come out of the bath.
The second floor of the bathhouse was one of the most important social places in the Edo period.
Basically all bathhouses have a second floor where male guests can rest after taking a bath.
Some male guests who have more free time will go to the second floor to rest and play after taking a bath.
Before ascending to the second floor, while still walking on the stairs, Oufang heard bursts of noise coming from above.
After stepping onto the last step, Oubang saw people of different ages, old and young, passing the time in different places and in different ways.
Or get together to discuss all kinds of weird topics.
Or bring the shogi, go and other entertainment equipment provided by the bathhouse specifically for guests.
On the second floor of this bathhouse, a staff member set up a small stall selling snacks and tea, so some people bought steamed buns, yokan and other snacks, and ate snacks while drinking the free tea. It was so happy.
Because the second floor of all bathhouses is not open to women, you can't see women here at all.
Among all the people present, there was no one Ogata knew, so Ogata silently walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside the window boredly to pass the time.
At this moment, Ogata suddenly noticed a loud voice beside him:
"Okay! Anyone who wants to hear me tell my hunting stories back then, please sit down!"
This voice is a bit old, but very energetic.
Because this voice was very loud, it directly attracted Ogata's attention.
Ogata followed the sound and thought that the owner of this voice was an old man.
This old man looks to be in his 50s, with most of his hair white.
Although he is old, he is energetic and has bright eyes.
After he finished speaking, the six young people sitting in front of him, probably only in their teens, immediately sat around the old man with their eyes shining brightly.
"Master Dao!" one of the young people asked, "What are you going to talk about today?"
"Today... today I will tell you the story of hunting giant man-eating bears in Ezo Land when I was young!"
Ezochi?
Hearing this word, Ogata raised his eyebrows slightly.
"That was also a very thrilling hunt... Hmm? Master, would you like to come and listen too?"
The old man noticed Ogata, who had been looking at him since just now, and extended an invitation to Ogata.
Ogata pointed to himself: "Can I also come to listen?"
"Of course!" the old man said cheerfully, "The more people who come to listen to my story, the happier I will be! Let's listen together! My story won't be very long."
Listening to the old man's story about hunting in the Ezo Land, you might be able to collect some information related to the Ezo Land, so Ogata is happy to take advantage of the fact that he has nothing to do now and listen to the old man's story about hunting bears in the Ezo Land.
Following the six young people, he sat down behind the old man. The old man moved his eyes and looked at Ogata several times, and then asked:
"I've never seen you before. Are you a foreigner?"
"Yes." Ogata nodded, "I traveled here because of some things."
"Since the 'Tianming Famine' broke out and the number of gangsters in our Northeast has increased, it has become very rare for outsiders to pass through our area." The old man smiled bitterly, "Anyway, let me introduce myself first."
"My name is Shimasuke, and I used to be a Matauki from the Matsumae Clan who lived in Ezo. Now that I'm old and can't hold a bow or hunt, I moved to Kinkino Town to live with my daughter and son-in-law.
"
"Ghost again?" A bit of surprise appeared in Ogata's eyes, and he couldn't help but look at the old man in front of him again.
"Foreigner, do you know what 'yougui' is?"
Ogata nodded: "I've heard of it. It's the kind of person who both farms and hunts, right?"
Japan's Tohoku region and Ezo region have always been the "Kingdom of Wild Animals".
There are many wild animals such as deer, wolves, and bears.
Bears are not only numerous in number, but also extremely destructive, so bears pose the greatest threat to humans.
As a result, a special group of people was born in Tohoku and Ezo.
They engage in agricultural cultivation in spring and summer. In winter and early spring, they go hunting in the forest in groups, mainly hunting bears and deer.
People in the Tohoku region and Ezo region call the group of people who are engaged in both farming and hunting activities "Magaki".
"Maki" is actually an Ezo word, which means "winter hunter".
Although he had heard of Matauki before, a group with a long history, this was Ogata's first time seeing Matagui with his own eyes.
"Since you know what Yougui means, it's easy to handle." Shimasuke grinned, "I don't have to explain it."
"Where did I just talk about? Ah, yes. I used to be a Matauki from a certain 'Mataki Village' in the Matsumae Clan in Ezo."
"We farm in the spring and summer, and after winter we pick up our bows and arrows and go hunting in the mountains."
"I'm not bragging, I was the number one hunter in the village when I was young."
As Shisuke spoke, he posed with a bow and arrow.
"Not to mention deer, which can be hunted by a ten-year-old boy, I have killed countless bears."
"But while I am undoubtedly an expert when it comes to bear hunting, I never take it lightly when preparing to hunt a bear."
"Because bears are extremely scary animals."
Shisuke's tone gradually became serious.
"Once a bear starts running, it can easily catch up with humans."
"When it comes to running, no matter what, humans can't outrun a bear."
"An adult bear can break a tree with a trunk as thick as two bowls with just one claw."
"Human beings are basically certain to die after being struck by a bear."
"Especially the bears in Ezo. The bears in Ezo are much scarier than the bears in Tohoku."
"I don't know if it's because it's colder in Ezo. The wolves and bears in Ezo are much larger than those in Tohoku."
Shimazuke drew a large circle in the air in front of him with his hands.
"If the bears from Ezo were to fight against the bears from Tohoku, the bears from Ezo would definitely win. There is a huge difference in size."
"To deal with bears, the best weapon is poison arrows."
"Whether it's us ghosts or Ezo, we all use poisonous arrows to hunt bears."
"Although the poison formula used by Ezo and the others is different from the poison formula used by us Matauki, the effects are similar."
"After a bear is hit by our poisoned arrow, it only takes 10 breaths to be poisoned to death."
"I have hunted countless bears in my life."
"But if I were to talk about the most dangerous hunt in my life, it was undoubtedly the battle with that man-eating giant bear when I was 36 years old."
Shisuke's eloquence is very good.
The cadences and inflections are well controlled, making it very comfortable to listen to.
I wonder if this eloquence was honed by telling people around me hunting stories about my youth for a long time.
Ogata was also fascinated by it without realizing it.
Ogata rarely heard of real hunting stories dictated by real hunters, whether in his previous life or now, so Ogata's curiosity was aroused at this time.
"Bear is a very strange animal."
"They usually don't treat humans as food."
"But if they eat humans, they will not be able to eat other food except human flesh until they die."
"Even if there are many other delicacies such as wild fruits, fish, venison, etc., I will never touch them again."
"Why?" asked a young man sitting next to Ogata.
"The popular saying in our village is that human meat is far more delicious than other foods. It is so delicious that bears are completely obsessed with this food and can no longer eat other foods."
Shisuke shrugged.
"And the theory over there in Ezo is that this is a punishment from the gods to the bear."
"Once a bear eats a human, as punishment, the gods will punish the bear to eat only humans for the rest of its life."
“The Ezo people call bears that eat human flesh ‘unkamui’.”
"Unkamuyi?" asked another young man.
"It's the Ezo language. It means 'evil god'."
"As for why the bear that eats human flesh is called that, I don't know much about it. Our village doesn't have much contact with Ezo, so I don't know much about Ezo."
"Because after a bear eats a human, it can no longer eat food other than human flesh. Therefore, there is a rule in our ghosts that once a bear eats human flesh is encountered, it must be hunted as soon as possible."
"Because once a bear eats the first person, it will definitely eat the second, third... until it dies."
"When I was 36 years old, I encountered a bear that ate human flesh for the first and only time so far."
"For some reason, a bear suddenly attacked the 'Yougui Village' next door."
"Because it is rare for a bear to attack a human village on its own initiative. So the people in that village were completely unprepared for the attack by the giant bear."
"That giant bear just rushed into the village in the middle of the night and attacked a family of three. All three members of that family were killed by the bear in their sleep."
"After killing all the people in this family, the giant bear went straight to feasting."
"The bear hadn't even had a few bites when the villagers who noticed the bear coming rushed over and started to hunt down the man-eating giant bear."
"It's a pity that the villagers' encirclement and suppression failed. This giant man-eating bear was not only big, but also extremely fast. It escaped from the village as quickly as a gust of wind and fled back into the mountains."
"In order to prevent further victims, people from that village came to our village and hoped that our village would also come to help."
"If a man-eating bear appeared, people in our village might be killed, so we agreed to cooperate without hesitation. All the men in the two villages went to battle and worked together to exterminate the giant bear."
"After three days of searching, we finally found the man-eating giant bear in a forest."
"And the first person to discover this giant man-eating bear..."
Shisuke smiled bitterly and raised his finger to point at himself.
"it is me."
"That man-eating giant bear is really big..."
"If it stood up, it should be as tall as two of me."
Ogata looked at Shimoshimasuke's height.
Shisuke's height is about 1.5 meters tall.
If the bear is really as tall as two Shisukes, then the bear will be 3 meters tall when standing up.
"Not only tall but also very strong."
Shisuke raised his hands and gestured.
"Its waist should be four times as wide as mine."
"I was hiding in a big tree. I was waiting for the best shooting opportunity."
"There is a secret to shooting bears."
Shisuke raised his hand and nodded his head.
"When fighting a bear, you just need to remember one thing."
"That means you can't attack the bear's head."
"The skull of a bear is extremely hard, almost like steel. Even an iron cannon may not be able to penetrate the bear's head."
"Although the bear's head is big, its brain is very small. Therefore, when attacking the bear's head, it is difficult to hit the bear's brain accurately. If you cannot hit the bear's brain directly, the bear will not die."
"So when fighting a bear, never attack the bear's head."
"The best place to attack is the bear's soft belly."
"After waiting for the best opportunity to shoot, I shot the poisonous arrow into the belly of the giant man-eating bear."
"My shooting positions are carefully chosen by me."
"It took about 13 breaths to run from the man-eating giant bear to the big tree where I was hiding."
"That's enough time for the poison to take effect and kill the bear."
"But I didn't expect..."
A bitter look appeared on Shisuke's face.
"That man-eating giant bear is so tenacious..."
"After I shot the poisonous arrow into the body of the giant man-eating bear, it actually took 15 breaths before it died..."
"Bears can not only swim but also climb trees."
"It almost climbed up the tree trunk where I was hiding...I could smell the bear's breath at that time."
"Fortunately, just when it was about to crawl in front of me, the poison finally took effect and it fell from the tree."
"If it had lasted two more breaths, my head might have been smashed by it..."
"Although this happened twenty years ago, when I think back to the scene of the bear's face so close at that time, I still get uncontrollable cold sweat on my back..."
After saying that, Shimasuke touched his back, and then showed it to Ogata and others to see that his palms were really wet.
"Although it was thrilling, I finally succeeded in killing the man-eating giant bear."
"Since then, I have firmly established myself as the 'number one hunter in the village'."
"Hunting a bear..." A young man sitting farthest from Ogata looked longingly, "I really want to try hunting a bear..."
"When you listen to me telling stories here, you may think that hunting is very interesting and fun." Shimasuke smiled bitterly and shook his head, "But in fact, hunting is much more boring and dangerous than you think."
"Don't even think about going bear hunting."
"There is no way for people with inexperience to hunt bears."
"If you encounter a bear in the wild, run away if you can."
"Don't get too hot and think about fighting a bear up close."
"It's just a little bear. You might have some chance of winning in a close fight with a little bear, but you definitely have no chance of winning in a close fight with an adult bear."
"If you really can't escape...I'll teach you a way to escape from a bear."
"Are you pretending to be dead?" A young man asked, "I heard my father say that if you encounter a bear in the wild, just pretend to be dead. Bears don't eat dead people."
"That's seeking death!" Shisuke said angrily, "I really don't know why the fallacy 'bears don't eat dead people' can be spread so widely...it's really misleading."
"If you encounter an adult bear in the wild, don't pretend to be dead. It's useless."
"Don't even think about running away. You will never be able to outrun a grown bear."
"And don't think about climbing trees. Bears are better at climbing trees than any human being."
"Also don't think swimming bears can swim."
"If you encounter an adult bear in the wild, the best way to deal with it is to stand still and don't move."
"Remain calm and face the bear motionless."
"While facing the bear, talk to the bear and say hello to the bear, such as chatting with the bear about today's weather or something."
"People are afraid of bears, but bears are also afraid of people."
"In the eyes of bears, humans are strange creatures."
"So under normal circumstances, bears will not approach humans."
"There are only two situations when bears attack humans."
"One is wanting to eat people."
"The other is that you feel that the humans in front of you are threatening you, and you think you are in danger, so you launch a counterattack."
"The reason why I have to stay calm and face the bear motionlessly is to prove to the bear that I have no ill intentions and will not pose a threat to you, Mr. Bear."
"The bear may come up to touch you with its big paws, or come to smell you, so don't be afraid. Just let it touch you and let it smell you. You can't resist it anyway."
"The reason why it touches you and smells you is just because it is curious about you."
"As long as you follow the steps I just mentioned, there's a good chance the bear will leave on its own."
"Of course, the methods I just mentioned for dealing with bears in the wild are only effective for bears who have never eaten human flesh and don't know how delicious human flesh is."
"If you encounter a bear that has eaten people...you can only pray that the bear is full."
Shisuke took the tea on the side, took a sip, moistened his dry lips and throat, laughed a few times, and then continued:
"In short, remember the method of escaping from a bear that I just taught you, although you probably won't have much chance to use this method."
"As long as you don't go to those deep mountains and old forests, you generally won't encounter bears."
…

at the same time
Hirono Town, which is some distance away from Kinkino Town
"How?" A middle-aged man with an extremely vicissitudes of face asked a middle-aged man in front of him with half-bald hair.
The balding middle-aged man nodded gently:
"Finally we met a warrior who was willing to help us, but... that warrior didn't look very strong..."
After saying that, the middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief.
"There are so many samurai in Hirono Town, but only one samurai is willing to help us..."
As soon as the bald middle-aged man finished speaking, the vicissitudes of life middle-aged man then answered with a wry smile:
"The remuneration we give is too low... The only ones who are willing to accept such hard work that may lead to death for such a low remuneration are probably the only samurai whose lives are already extremely embarrassing."
"It seems we can't find any samurai willing to help here in Hirono Town. Let's go to other towns and see."
"How many towns and cities have we not visited yet?" the balding middle-aged man asked.
"Rinno Town and Nishikino Town."
"Nikino Town..." the balding middle-aged man murmured, "I heard that there is a sword hall in Kinkino Town... Since they all practice swordsmanship, then the people in that sword hall should have certain strength...
"
"Yes." The vicissitudes of the middle-aged man nodded, "There is a sword hall called 'Hosei' in Kinno Town. I hope the samurai in that sword hall are willing to assist us... In short, we will go to the one closest to us first.
Let’s go to Linno Town, and go to Nishino Town last.”

Yesterday, a book friend asked me about contraceptive methods in the Edo period. I originally wanted to give you some popular science today, but because today’s chapter involves bear hunting, I will leave the popular science about contraceptive methods until tomorrow. Today
Let me tell you about Japan’s bear hunting culture.
Please watch the popular science in the "Writer's Words" below.
By the way, for the purpose of writing this volume, the author Jun specially bought a book on popular science bears and what to do if you encounter a bear in the wild: "What to do if you encounter a bear?"
This book is an interview with a professional bear hunter who started hunting at the age of 12 and started hunting bears alone at the age of 22. He has been hunting for 65 years and has killed a total of 60 bears. It contains various bear-related facts dictated by this bear hunter.
A popular science book that integrates knowledge.
It is said that this book also describes how to greet a bear, how to save yourself after being knocked down by a bear, how to use a plastic bottle to avoid a bear, and how to fight a bear one-on-one with a hatchet.
Not only that, this book also popularizes some cultural customs of the Ainu people, also known as Ezo.
I think this book is very beneficial to my creation of Volume 7, so I placed an order yesterday. I will test it for everyone first.
I posted a picture of this book in the easter egg chapter at the back. You can find it by turning to the back →→→ (flip to the back)
