Went to recent concert where this music group from Japan called Imeruat performed. The name Imeruat is Ainu for “lightning.” They performed this piece called “Battaki”(“grasshopper” in Ainu) with the following origami grasshopper video presentation. Mina, the singer and musician, plays some traditional Ainu instruments for this group. She is quite open and proud of her Ainu heritage which can still have some social negativity in Japan.
