The paintings of the Ainu (indigenous Japanese) of Hokkaido and Sakhalin, focuses on everyday activities and yearly festivals. This was a popular subject in the latter half of the 19th century, before photography was introduced to Japan. They were produced by ukiyo-e artists and other popular artists of the day, but the latter did not usually sign their names. Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) was among the earliest to include scenes of Ainu in the background of his beauty prints. Most of the prints of Ainu produced were from copies or based on oral stories, but later artists such as Yoshimune Arai (1817-1880) actually went to Hokkaidou and observed their daily life. In 1871, Kuniteru actually went to Hokkaidou and observed their (Ainu) daily life. Kuniteru, Hiroshige and Eitaku together produced a set of eighteen prints which included several scenes of Ainu daily life entitled Gennyo Shounin Hokkaidou.
