16 October, Saturday - Saturn day, moon in Aquarius (the 9th day)
No photo, please!
As always, a photo-taking at the fest and the show was prohibited
due to copyright restrictions. Ainu really do care about the word 'rights'.
Anyway, both the Ainu Culture Fest. and the Ainu Craft Show were
just fine as always.

Because Ainu culture and their arts & crafts are so attractive,
people want to know their background... Me too...
It is reported that Ainu have arrived earlier into Japan compared to
Korean or China strait. Also, DNAs from bones of Buryats and Ainu
in the Ice Age have the same match.
Now, they look different yet DNA might not tell a lie...Strange.
(Methinks there is some confusion about Jomon and Ainu.)
