Click here to view the photos! Hokkaido Photo Album

HišŸ’•

I recently spent some of my summer vacation visiting a relative in Hokkaido with my cousin!

I wanted to share some photos and some stories with you from this very special trip.

I hope you learn a little about Hokkaido as well, and that you will also find yourself there some dayšŸ„°

Ainu culture at the turn of the 20th century was studied by the Polish-Lithuanian ethnographer Bronisław Piłsudski (brother of JĆ³zef Piłsudski, the Chief of State of Poland from 1918 to 1922, the first Marshal of Poland, two-time Prime Minister of Poland, and Poland's practical leader until his death in 1935). For participating in a plot to assassinate Tsar Alexander III, he was sentenced to death, commuted to 15 years of hard labor, and exiled to the island of Sakhalin. There, in the south of the island, he encountered the Ainu. When his sentence ended, he settled in the village of Ai, where he married Shinhinchou, a relative of Chief Bafunke Kimura, who gave birth to their son, Sukezō, and daughter, Kyō.* In 1903, he and another exile, the writer Wacław Sieroszewski, traveled to Hokkaido to research Ainu culture. One of the results of his work are unique sound recordings recorded on 100 wax cylinders. In the early 1980s, these cylinders were borrowed from Poland by the Japanese, and Sony constructed a special laser-based device to read them, allowing the sounds recorded on them to be heard again after many years. These are the only known recordings of the Ainu language from that period. His achievements include the creation of a dictionary in which he translated over 10,000 words from the Ainu language. He also compiled extensive descriptions of their culture and customs, including their musical culture. He recorded numerous folk tales and legends and took approximately 300 photographs. *The son of Sukezō Kimura (ęœØꝑ 助造) (born February 14, 1903 in Sakhalin, died June 5, 1971 in the city of Furano, Hokkaido) was Kazuyasu Kimura (ęœØꝑ 和äæ). He lived and worked in Japan. He owned the FC Engineering company in Yokohama. He passed away on December 17, 2022. He had a wife and three daughters. Currently, several descendants of Bronisław Piłsudski live in Japan. Kyō Kimura's descendants live in Hokkaido, Sukezō Kimura's descendants live in Yokohama.

I also once managed to watch a ski jumping training session up close. They were still juniorsā€”teenagersā€”but one of them jumped 132 meters on a 120-meter hill. Thatā€™s a really impressive result. Funnily enough, the boy was the youngest (10 years old) and the smallest of them all. Unfortunately, he later developed eye problems (which he kept hidden), preventing him from having a major career.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan was the only nation against which Poland declared war in the 20th century... but Japan simply did not accept the declaration : ) The Japanese Prime Minister at the time, Hideki Tōjō, commented on the matter as follows: "We do not accept the Poles' challenge. The Poles, while fighting for their own freedom, declared war on us under pressure from Great Britain."

If I remember my history right, after WW2, Japan didn't get Hokkaido back from US Occupation until 1972 (I know I'm late to comment on here, but better late than never)
