^{*I first read about da Jinrui Kan from scholar Wesley Ueunten.  In his essay "Okinawans on Mainland Japan: Discrimination, Imeeji, and Identity," published in Reflections on the Okinawan Experience: Essays commemorating 100 years of Okinawan immigration, Ueunten tells, "We can link the image of Okinawa being exotic and different to the idea that Okinawans were 'inferior.'  One of the most deplorable examples of this was the Jinrui kan (native people exhibition) at the Fifth Osaka Industrial Exposition in 1903. For this exhibition, exhibition organizers put Ainu, Taiwanese aborigine, Korean, and Okinawan women on display for Japanese to gawk at their 'primitiveness'" (49).}
