ーAn Ainu Folktale

The Ainu are the indigenous people of Japan. This picture book relates one of their folktales about a bear god who is killed by a human. Unable to forget an amazing dance by a youth at the ceremony to send him to heaven, he repeatedly comes back to earth in order to identify the youth, thus ensuring that the youth’s family prospers with meat and furs aplenty. The story teaches that humans are kept alive by nature and other lives. Drawing on traditional Ainu patterns, the illustrations capture the essence of this tale and make it easy to follow. <Sakuma>
