Who guards the Sea of Okhotsk, and why do the Nivkh still "feed" its Master? Whose back, according to the Ainu, supports the land, and why do earthquakes occur on the islands?

This book reveals the world of Sakhalin mythology—a harsh and beautiful place where nature is alive, endowed with a voice and will, and powerful protectors of the sea, forest, and animals dwell alongside people. You will become acquainted with the legends of the Nivkh, Ainu, Uilta, and other indigenous peoples, learning their stories about the origins of the island land, journeys to the world of the dead, and mysterious spirits of temptation and protection. The author shows how these stories explained the structure of the universe, taught how to live in harmony with the ocean and the taiga, and remained a part of everyday life.
