Featured Japanese Hokkaido Ainu Carved Wooden Bear

Have to say my first thought on seeing the kimono was that it was similar to Haida design, too.

 

Still not seeing it.

 

No Blame, Komo...I am sorry.

 

Just because I don't see it , doesn't mean it's not there for others to see .

There are certain similarities in the cultural work of first peoples around the world.

The materials and designs used in everyday life , sometimes even suggest a connection .

To a trained eye though , the differences , stand out , in stark contrast to any possible similarities.
