I don't mean to nitpick but how did you arrive at your answer "Kamakura" if you really believe that Emishi and Ainu are different groups of people? The term "Ainu" began to be used around 15-17th centuries, didn't it? It never got very common until well into Meiji, either. I wonder if your confusion comes from the fact (Do excuse me if this isn't true) that you aren't doing your research in the original Japanese.
