I would like to ask your opinion on the pictures I got from my friends in japan.
Japanese has two major ethnicities, yayoi (korea-related) and jomon/ainu. How you think japanese princes look like back in these old days of 19th century? Ainu, Yayoi, or mixed? Please let me know you opinions.
If you don't know how jomon looks, here is the example pic of jomon people:
Mutu Munemitsu (Foreign Minister) and his wife, Ryouko
Akiyama Saneyuki (Vice Admiral)
Akiyama Yoshifuru (General)
Togo Heihachiro (Admiral)
The images below are japanese royal family member in 19th century.
Prince Fushimi and his wife
Prince Takehito
Meiji Emperor
From my view, I am confident that these people are not chinese related, as I am asian myself, and knows all kinds of looks in north east, and south east asia.

Just my two cents, these princes seem to have different mothers, so even they may be related, there are always new DNA added by maternal lineages.

Japanese and other east asian ethnicities, races, genetic origin, some DNA analysis
It's been a while since I've been in japan. As I've seen many threads concerning the origin of many east asian people on various asian forums, I am increasingly keen to delve into the division of east asian ethnicities essentially from scientific viewpoints. Consensus scientific conclusions...
