The Story of Akan Yukar Lost Kamuy
The Ainu people " The World of Kamuy (Gods) "and" The World of the Ainu " I believe there are two different worlds. People believed that animals, plants and all natural things had souls, and revered them as sacred beings called kamuy, and respected each other as companions living together like family.
Among the Kamuy, the Hokkaido wolf is special.
Horkeu Kamuy (God of the Hunt)
It is called
.
The Hokkaido wolf was an object of admiration for the Ainu people, but the heavy snowfall of 1879 (Meiji 12) caused a sharp decline in the number of Hokkaido deer, which were the food source of the Hokkaido wolf. Because the Hokkaido wolf attacked the livestock of pioneers from Honshu, the Hokkaido wolf was considered a nuisance, and poisoned venison was spread around, leading to the extermination of 2,000 to 3,000 wolves over a period of six to seven years. Due in part to the bounty system for hunters, the Hokkaido wolf was driven to extinction around 1882 (Meiji 15).
