I am

that I did not even allow her to fetch water

We lived

Doing nothing but needlework,
I remained with my eyes
focused on a single spot,
and this is the way
I continued to live
on and on

The long standing posts---
the posts stood bending

and the newly standing posts---
the posts stood bending

Winged creature that you are,
you travel
high in the skies,
high over the land.
Thus your spirit
is now about to
return to
the upper heavens.
You have been treated
magnificently
by the humans.

The forest wakes from a world of long endurance
the trees stretch tap each others shoulders
Rub their hands together still a little chilled by the light wind

From the board and train place: “Your dog is going to need some correction, he was very violent.” Idk what they’re talking about, Akuma is fearful, but violent is not a word I would use to describe him. 🧐 #nihonken #japanesedogs #hokkaidoken #ainu

#ainu
The #Ainu were forced to assimilate into #Japanese culture (1899-1997), and many of their religious practices were banned during this time.
In 2008, the #Ainu were officially recognized as an #indigenous people with a distinct culture

For a variety of reasons I found myself thinking about Donald Philippi today. He was one of the most interesting people I have worked with. I plan to reread his Ainu translations in the near future.

I bet with all the bear attacks in Japan, I feel there is most likely going to be a revival of the traditional Ainu ritual of Iomante(bear raising, worship, and sacrifice) to help curb them down. #ainu #japan #indigenouspeople #religion #spirituality #bears #Hokkaido #bearattacks
