There will be a special exhibit titled “Ainu Life  Kuriles, Sakhalin, Hokkaido” at the Historical Museum of Hokkaido in Sapporo running from August 5 to September 25. The Special Exhibit will then travel to the National Museum of Ethnology in Osaka and will be on display there from October 6 through December 6. 

The collection includes items collected by Europeans in the late 19th and early 20th century and now housed at Leipzig Museum of Ethnology and Dresden Museum of Ethnology, and will be displayed together with various items from Japanese museums.

There will also be several events held in conjunction with the exhibit.

While the Historical Museum of Hokkaido has a website in English, further details on the exhibit are available only in Japanese. Thus if you require further assistance (including any assistance making reservations for events), please contact AINU PRIDE PRODUCTIONS.
