History photos & videos on Instagram: "The Ainu are the Indigenous people of northern Japan, mainly Hokkaidō. Long before modern Japan existed, they lived from fishing, hunting, and a close relationship with nature, with strong spiritual beliefs and distinctive clothing and art. For a long time, Ainu culture was suppressed, but today it’s slowly being reclaimed and shared.
