Ainu Folk

Ainu Folk music is a traditional genre of music from the Ainu people of northern Japan. It is characterized by its unique vocal style, which is often accompanied by a variety of traditional instruments such as the tonkori (a five-stringed zither), the mukkuri (a jaw harp), and the fue (a bamboo flute). The music is often used to tell stories and express emotions, and is often accompanied by traditional Ainu dances. The genre has been passed down through generations and is still practiced today.
