hernesheir commented on the word ainu
An aboriginal ethnic group of Japan, indigenous to Hokkaid�?, the Kuril Islands, and much of Sakhalin. The Ainu were a society of hunter-gatherers derived from the Okhotsk and Satsumon cultures from the mainland to the east, who lived mainly off fish and plants. The people followed a religion based around the phenomenon of nature, including the worship and sacrifice of bears through an elaborate group of rituals documented in the early part of the 20th century. Early Ainu carved bears are beautiful pieces of folk art prized by collectors.
