Kutune Shirka
The , known in Japanese as or simply is a sacred ''yukar'' epic of the native Ainu people of Japan. The Ainu title refers to a magic sword wielded by the story's protagonist. It is one of the most important, if not the most important, piece of Ainu literature. There have been several translation efforts since its compilation, into Japanese and other languages.
==Background==
Like most epics, the plot of the ''Kutune Shirka'' is long and covers many events. This ''yukar'' is approximately 10,000 words long.〔Shibatani, M. (1990) ''The languages of Japan''. Cambridge University Press. ISBN 0-521-36918-5〕
The epic itself tells the tale from a first-person narrative, as is usual in Ainu oral tradition, where the storyteller takes on the role of the protagonist. Like other Ainu epics, the ''Kutune Shirka'' is recited with a rhythm of two stressed beats per line. This was enacted by the reciter, who would tap a stick every beat.〔(''Kutune Shirka'' ).
