This book is a description of the folklore and traditional oral folklore passed down throughout the generations in traditional Ainu culture. This book gives a general (though not the most thorough) idea of Ainu mythology and religion. Overall though, this book is good to have for anyone who is interested in the Ainu ethnic group.
