工芸プレス In the talk, which unfolds against the backdrop of the forests and lakeshores of Lake Akan in the National Park, which is a sacred place for the Ainu, we will deepen our conversation with two experts who are involved in Ainu culture and art, and who are involved in the cutting-edge of video and art content production, direction, and criticism, about the origin of sustainability and its aesthetic sense learned from the Ainu worldview. We will find hints in Ainu culture that are indispensable for modern society to achieve the SDGs.
