オムシャ之図 (Omusha no zu- Diagram of Omusha)
description: Omusha is the Ainu word for "greetings". However, it became loosely related to the Japanese word "onsha" meaning "favor and gratitude" which turned the Ainu ceremony of welcoming guests into a place where the Japanese reinforced their rule over the Ainu, to make them feel as if the Japanese were doing them a favor.
