Version of Record

The “Zhigong Tu（職貢図）” is an ethnographic collection held by the National Library of France (Bibliothèque nationale de France). The work comprises 266 paintings of the people (both men and women) from the Qing Dynasty and surrounding areas. Every painting comes with explanations written in Manchu and Chinese. The Manchu version of the explanations is of significance for ethnological and linguistic study. The two-page entry referred to as the ʻKuye（庫野）’ of “Zhigong Tu” is an important document for studying the history and culture of Sakhalin Ainu. The 'Kuye' includes descriptions of men's hats, men's hairstyles, women's tattoos, sharp knives, and fish skin clothing. Additionally, women's necklaces are depicted in the paintings. These are invaluable records of the Sakhalin Ainu in the 18th Century. Most records about Ainu in the 18th Century were written in Japanese. Therefore, the 'Kuye' stands out as the only record written in Manchu and Chinese. Comparative analysis of the texts has the potential to fill in knowledge gaps when reconstructing the culture of the Sakhalin Ainu.
