Iwakoku says it was used by both Ainu and non-Ainu Japanese people.
わじん【和人・倭人】
(昔、アイヌや中国人から見て)日本人。
[注意]アイヌからの場合は「和人」と書く。日本人が自称したこともある。

Sankoku also splits into two senses, one for the usage by the Ainu (和人) and one for the usage from ancient China (倭人).

和人は、アイヌ以外の日本人または大和民族が自分たちをアイヌと区別するために用いた自称である。和人は、アイヌの側からは「シサム」「シャモ」「シサムウタラ」(「隣人」の意)と呼ばれた。
  Comments:
Shimeikai has "〔中国人・アイヌ人の側からの呼び名〕日本人" but Wikipedia says it was used by (non-Ainu) Japanese people to distinguish themselves from the Ainu.
Are there any other sources that say it was used by the Ainu?
