	Yukar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yukar (Japanese: ユーカラ yūkara) are Ainu sagas that form a long rich tradition of oral literature.
		Perhaps the only book relating the epic songs of the Ainu in English is "Songs of Gods, Songs of Humans: The Epic Tradition of the Ainu", North Point 1982 and University of Tokyo Press 1979, by Donald L. Philippi.
		Traditional tales describe floating worlds with "Ainu Mosir", or the land of the humans (as opposed to "Kamui Mosir", the land of the gods), resting on the back of a fish whose movements cause earthquakes.

		Harukor’s story is interwoven with several yukar (epic poetry that is musically chanted) and other oral art forms.
		Also, both men and women were involved with retelling the myths and legends conveyed in yufar, uwepet(er, and other oral traditions, but women were more concerned with telling these to children and other family members at home whereas men’s performances were dominant on official and festive occasions involving the whole community.
