An Ainu village

An Ainu village

Ditch reeds and or cogon grasses were used in the walls and roofs of the cise houses. The maegoya cottage on the left is an annex to the omoya main house. The back of the main house was a sacred area with a shrine where inaw willow or dogwood wigs were offered on an altar. The device made from parallel cross logs in the foreground is a cage to rear infant bears. Poles to hang and dry fish are seen as well. This was adjacent to the Ainu warehouses depicted in photograph #3002.==Date:unknown, Place:Hokkaido, Photo:R.
