Objects and scenes of daily life of the Ainu, mounted on a long scroll kakemono
kakemono Ainu no kibutsu to setaiga 掛物: アイヌの器物と世態画
The exhibited objects of the Ainu, a population group from the Hokkaido, Kuril and Sakhalin islands, belong to the circumpolar habitat and cultural region. At the beginning of the Meiji period (1868-1912), in about 1876, a number of western researchers became increasingly interested in the way of life of these people, which was based on hunting, fishing and gathering. Their social and political position in Japan in the 21st century is comparable to that of the First Nations and Native Americans in North America.
