Basically, I admit the summary account provided by the URL.  When I
browsed the discription on the transference, I happened to recollect
reading the article on the make-up at my university's library in
England.  But sadly I fogot both the title of the reference and its
writer, sorry about that.  How stupid of me!  When I come back to
England, perhaps next year, I will let you know if I remember.  ;-)

BTW, the following reference (in Japanese) is so informative that I
can recommend it if you have not read yet:

'Burakumin towa dareka?' (Who is Burakumin?), Gendai Shisou, Vol. 27
(2), 1999., ISBN4-7917-1042-8.
