About this audiobook

What if the ultimate act of reverence… was to kill the god you cherished as a guest? To the Ainu of northern Japan, the bear was a divine spirit visiting the human world. Its "death" was not a hunt, but a sacred farewell. We uncover the true meaning of the Kamuy bear spirit's gift—a profound secret of reciprocity hidden beneath one of history's most misunderstood rituals.
