History and Geography
The British doctor Munro, who came to Japan during the Meiji period, studied and recorded Ainu culture in Hokkaido while practicing medicine. He introduced various customs and customs such as the ceremony of sending the soul of a bear, the 「 Iyomante 」, tools, clothes and prayers in the movies and photographs owned by the National Museum of Japanese History. In the early Showa period when the Ainu lifestyle was changing due to the assimilation policy, the spiritual culture of the Ainu appeared in the eyes of Munro, who settled down in the area and was close to the people.
