Tradition or Entertainment ?

by Kazu

I do not think the original arrangement of the traditional dance and music of the indigenous people in Hokkaido Ainu was like that in front of us but as kind of entertainment, they mixed up their traditional way to perform and more attractive and fascinating one to hand down their original own to the next generations.

A glaring flame split into two, four and six. The dance performance started with the mouth harp solo under the stars. At the peak of the frequency of the mouth harp clicking, the fireworks started and the sound of explosion made the audience look back on the mountain side.  

The costs of the fireworks and the Ainu performance must be covered with the hotel chain or the Tourism Association in Kutchan and Niseko but for that, they have to make the way of alluring more tourists and show the specific vision of the future.
