After getting the perspective of the place of the Ethnic Harmony "Upopoi" which means "to sing together" in the language of the indigenous people in Hokkaido Ainu, Minister for Land, Infrastructure, Transportation and Tourism Mr. Kazuyoshi AKABA lokked around in the National Museum of Ainu culture.
Traditional Ainu attires and the tools for their traditional ceremony were displayed in the showcases of the museum. Ainu people did not have the custom of mining. They used the iron nails used for the wooden boxes that were cast ashore on the coast of Hokkaido, in order to make their swords and knives.
The accessories, coat, head band, sword, bow and arrow, fur cushion, hand-made crafts, strings, organs and their tools used in their traditional lives were displayed in the showcase. The visitors to the facility might be able to image their lives easily, I thought.
