from
Wikipedia
Intermarriages between Japanese and Ainu were actively promoted by the Ainu to lessen the chances of discrimination against their offspring.
As a result, many Ainu are indistinguishable from their Japanese neighbors, but some Ainu-Japanese are interested in traditional Ainu culture.
For example, Oki, born as a child of an Ainu father and a Japanese mother, became a musician who plays the traditional Ainu instrument tonkori.
There are many small towns in the southeastern or Hidaka region where full-blooded Ainu may still be seen such as in Nibutani ( Ainu: Niputay ).
