Crops The cereals that the Ainu raised were deccan grass, foxtail millet, Chinese millet, wheat, buckwheat, beans and so on. The Ainu regarded foxtail millet and deccan grass as the male and female cereals respectively and set a high value on them as the sacred crops of husband and wife. The cultivation of vegetables started relatively recently. Potatoes, for example, are believed to have been raised when the Japanese introduced some seed potatoes in 1798 (10 th year of Kansei era). Japanese radish, Ieek, cucumber and pumpkin have been raised since the Edo era. This is said to be because of the influence of the Japanese who engaged in fishing in the area. Other vegetables which the Ainu have raised since ancient times include a kind of turnip called "atane." Foxtail millet Chinese millet
