: The note the above sentence is the answer for the following letter.

"Ainu special exhibition assemble and think" to, the opinion of all of you

At present, seeing it to "a/the riding ground/Kodama collection from September 9 to October 9 in, the Nagoya-shi museum the world of subject Ainu of the north" is held.
This is the Kodama collection that is the biggest Ainu collection 1 large plan that gathers to, the nucleus and approach every article daily used by people/object of industrial art the world of old Ainu.
Many Ainu of now particularly (especially) is a very important thing as the base of the awareness of the race, as the mainstay of heart, as it is, to the Ainu culture promotion law that is becoming the source of the business of the exhibition in this time "the tradition culture of source ‚˝‚é Ainu and Ainu of the pride of a race" and , although it is not even enclosed to this sort of object of industrial art, even reason that is talking daily with Ainu city of Ainu wa.
tAnd it is a very joyful wonderful case, because I think as that becomes the opportunity that asks to understand our splendor to one of many Kazuto, that there is the opportunity that touches the achievement of the ancestor through this sort of exhibition, even for Ainu who is not acquiring the tradition culture like me much.
However, it does sometimes not become that I forget it one there.
The Kodama Sakuzaemon professor who is the collection person of "the Kodama collection" who is the nucleus of the exhibition in this time is the person who exposes the grave of our ancestor and took away the corpse.
The data "the Kodama collection" of the voluminous number that Professor Kodama left are a certainly wonderful thing.
It is a remarkable case that these article articles are remaining here now that, with what kind of circumstance.
It may be achievement certainly.
However, a precious great collection is able to call how and prefix stately his name and is it a good case really, to there be no the explanation of circumstances even criticism and open the exhibition?
I think abashed as 1 person of Ainu, as I am wonderful the more the exhibition contents are wonderful, as I am high the more the worth of that collection is high.
It is very provocative, that there be no the explanation of circumstances still, and be introduced only the aspect called "a wonderful collection" merely.
About what must I think, in disclosing the collection thing this way here now furthermore, or there was what in the background which "the Kodama collection" materialized what Professor Kodama did the unit?
The important thing that never becomes that I forget it thinks that it is included the relation between Kazuto and Ainu, to be making a better thing there.
Thereupon, I think that I want to do the assembly" that thinks "an Ainu special exhibition.
I think that I want to receive the opinion from each position of all of you to this gathering.
I the opinion that received it have responsibility in the day, this assembly and ask the participant to cause to introduce to the reference of a/the discussion ask to cause.
I am waiting for the opinion without mourning from all of you.
