Friends from Sakhalin !

by Kazu

In order to celebrate the Anniversary of the special relationship between Hokkaido and Sakhalin, Russia, a performance group with their traditional attires visited Sapporo.

Their cloths are so beautiful with its colorful textile of black, white, red and a variety of natural colors. Particularly, the color of red made a fresh contrast with their white skin.

A beautiful female performed so impressive traditional dance so nicely in very cold temperature. Each nation is under the control of each government but the regional exchange and friendship affiliation should continue for good, I think.
