Craftmanship of Ainu !

by Kazu

Minister for Land, Infrastructure, Transportation and Tourism Mr. Kazuyoshi AKABA was gazing at the crafts of Ainu such as sword, sticks, necklace and bracelet. The design of the crafts might as well take in the modern twist and adjustment. 

In case of the crafts made by the Native Americans, bow and arrows, hatchets, hair accessories, clabs, decorated spears for rituals and smoking pipes are popular as souvenirs. Actually I bought some of them in New Mexico, the USA.

When I wore some of them, I felt some difficulty to control myself. I shpould be careful when I wear the crafts made by the Native Americans, I think. I never wear them in the party.
