The sacred might owls, Lake Akan/Kushiro, Hokkaido

From the airport, to the hotel and in the town, I can see night owls being highly respected by the local Ainu people (the primitive local people, before Japan or Edo era were there).  Some of sculptures remind me of those I saw in Vancouver or other American local Indian culture.  I guess it may be all related and see how the ancient Asians migrated en-route Hokkaido thousand years ago.
