According to the Hokkaido Shinbun Press Jirota Kitahara , working as a curator in Ainu museum in Shiraoi now , is expected to stand on the platform at Hokkaido University Center for Ainu & Indigenous Studies this spring.
He was born in Tokyo and bred in Saitama. He began to be interested in Ainu culture because his maternal grandmother was Sakhalin Ainu,then he has studied at Hokkai-Gakuen University in Sapporo. He got his doctorate from Chiba University.
Kitahara said '' The museum could present our culture to wide range of generations,however,it is transitory .I wish I could train as many experts as possible on Ainu culture through a course of lectures.''
Tsunemoto,Director of the said Center ,expressed his expectations as follows;''It must be the great significance to make a study of their own culture by themselves. The lecture by Ainu should give a valuable opotunity to the students.''
