Which do you like better?

Different from the display in Upopoy Ainu National Museum in Shiraoi Town, the lighting in the museum seemed to be regulated and make the most of natural light from the outside.

These items might have been used in some kinds of ceremony because they were so decorated with gold Japanese lacquer and the family emblem. I can not believe that the indigenous people of Hokkaido Ainu preferred these kinds of gorgeous design usually.    

Some X-ray photos were also displayed on the wall of the showcase. Ainu people might have used the treasure drifted in the ocean and each the coast. It requires high degree of skills to craft such well-designed metal products.
