"Von Baelz (1883) recognized three principal physical types among the Japanese people: Ainu, fine (Choshu), and coarse (Satsuma) types. He thought that the Ainu had originally lived in the central and northern parts of Japan, and later were driven back further towards the north by invaders. The fine type, which resembled upper class Chinese and Koreans, he thought to have come by way of Korea to southwest Honshu at some unknown period and then spread all over Honshu. And the coarse type he believed to represent a Mongolian race who resembled Malayans, which invaded, also by way of Korea, the west coast of Kyushu and then Honshu after the fine type had arrived."

V. Eickstedt criticised the simplified system of Baelz who didnt recognise the basic relations in East Asia of later anthropologists. In Baelz Coshu type all leptomorphic variants were included, which majority is Sinid in Japan, whereas for v. Eickstedt et al. the Yakonids/Jakunin type was more specific.
The Satsumids consist out of both Tungid and Palaemongolid forms (basically) which formed specific regional types, more Palaemongolid in the South and Tungid in the West.
