Umeko Ando
Japanese folk singer in North Japan
This Ainu culture is important on the continent of Hokkaido, and its past history and culture are somewhat similar to that of Sámi folklore on music in the peninsula.
It is characterized with using a stringed instrument 🪕sounds of like a harp

@pvonhellermannn Also, try to find 🇬🇧 versions of books of our traveller Bronislaw Pilsudski, who studied #Japan & endemic #Ainu people in XIX-XX century.

Last night, I wrote my first poem in the #ainu language:
そらへ いのちのまどろむ まち
Sora e inochi no madoromu machi
In the city, where life sleeps
To the sky, I look up
- do you also try to write in your target language, @languagelovers ? 🙂
Any Japanese #Hokkaido folks here? I'm writing about #Ainu architecture and #permafrost in my first draft novel. Would love to connect. #nanowrimo
