"Winter Hunting Practices of the Ainu People"
Synopsis:
Among the Ainu, hunting was largely practiced by the men based in their abundant knowledge of nature and animals. The most active season for hunting was deep into autumn through to spring. An Ainu hunter in clothing adorned with colorful designs, taking aim at his prey in the snow - a scene often depicted in postcards, but is it true to fact?
