“Stars of the Ainu” is currently featured at Tsukuba Expo Center Planetarium and is an introduction into Ainu constellations. The show features music from Riwkakant (Emi Toko of Kapiw & Apappo fame).
This is a rare and unique opportunity to learn about a lesser known aspect of Ainu culture, so don’t miss it!
