Abstract

Ainu is one of Japanese indigenous tribe which lived in an area of Hokkaido that was
colonialized internally by Japanese people (Wajin) in Edo period. This history can be found
in Shizukana Daichi (2007), a novel by Ikezawa Natsuki. The novel tells the story of Saburo
and Shiro Munekata, sons of Tokushima Samurai, who forced to immigrate to Hokkaido in
early Meiji to settle and exploiting its natural resource. They made a relationship with Ainu
while other Japanese preferred to reject them. By using Hall's concept related to cultural
identity, articulation, and positioning, this paper aims to show how the structured narrative
builds the cultural identity of Ainu in this novel.
Keywords: Shizukana Daichi, Ainu, Cultural identity, Articulating, Positioning
