Inaw is one of the sacred tools of the Ainu people. It is an offering that mediates between the Kamuy (gods) and the spirits of ancestors and humans. The uses of Inaw are as gifts, messengers, and vessels for the spirits during prayers. The Ainu people offer Inaw when praying and making wishes to the Kamuy. It was believed that by doing so, the intentions of the human side would be conveyed to the Kamuy, and the Kamuy would also increase their power and virtue. Inaw is said not to exist in Kamuy Mosir (the world of the gods). Such fine crafts can only be created by humans with skillful hands, and the Kamuy have no way of obtaining them other than being offered by humans. There are still people who continue to make them, carrying on the tradition. ※This product is similar to what is called a flower, which is an Inaw (not actually used in ceremonies, etc.) and is made for decoration. Please purchase it for ornamental purposes only. It is not a sacred tool to be used in practice. We look forward to your purchase with the understanding of the above. Thank you for viewing.
