These are words of the Ainu who have long lived in the northern part of the Japanese archipelago, especially in Hokkaido. What do they mean? There must be many people who know them. In recent years, Golden Kamuy has been praised by many for rapidly increasing interest in Ainu culture. The total number of copies of the manga has exceeded 26 million, the anime series has also become very popular, and a live-action movie is scheduled to be released next month. The Ainu are known for having developed their own unique culture, including oral literature and rituals, but the key to understanding their spiritual world is the existence of "kamuy." Generally translated as "god," Kamuy are considered to be equals to the Ainu, and it is believed that neither would be able to exist without the other. Nakagawa Yutaka, who supervised the manga, points out that Kamuy are still alive in modern society, and that the traditional Ainu worldview is "a very necessary and important way of thinking for modern people." What are Kamuy? How have the Ainu dealt with Kamuy? And what is the Ainu language, which is said to be in "extremely serious danger" of extinction? Ochiai Yoichi delves into the lives and culture of the Ainu, who have survived in the north, in a world where Kamuy reside in everything. Guest: Nakagawa Yutaka (Professor Emeritus at Chiba University, Supervisor of the Ainu language for "Golden Kamuy") #OchiaiYoichi #weeklyochiai #NakagawaYutaka #Ainu #GoldenKamuy #AinuLanguage #Hokkaido #NodaSatoru #YoungJump #Folklore #Asirpa #SugimotoSaichi #TanigakiGenjiro #OgataHyakunosuke #GoldenKamuy #Anime#GoldenKamuy #Bear #BrownBear
