Taking its inspiration from the supernatural "Kamuy" of Ainu mythology, KAMUY LUMINA is a night walk experience where visitors will be immersed in the forest of the Akan Mashu National Park. Surrounded by digital art displays and projection mapping, you will be walking through the magical woods in darkness accompanied by traditional songs and dance. Are you ready to go on an interactive and multimedia Ainu journey?
Kamuy Lumina is the latest experience in Moment Factory’s Lumina Night Walks series.
Beginning at nightfall, you are invited to pursue an immersive experience along a 1.2 km walking path into the land of the Ainu gods, through the Forest of Lake Akan, in Akan Mashu National Park, Hokkaido.
Your journey will begin when you receive your “Rhythm staff”, which you will be called upon to use at different moments along the way. After being greeted by your host, the Owl, you will set off on an enchanted journey!
In this retelling of a traditional Ainu song, you will play an active role in the unfolding of the story and will be emotionally immersed through interactivity, light, sound, scenography and video projection.

THE OWL PROTECTOR OF THE AINU VILLAGE
His low, calm voice emanates a welcoming atmosphere of protection, intelligence and wisdom. He has been watching over the forest and the village for a very long time.
He seeks the perfect messenger to take his plea on behalf of humans to the land of the Kamuy, but ends up with the clumsy and excitable Jay Bird. The Owl is skeptical at first, but decides to help the Jay Bird realize his heroic potential.
Despite his endearing personality, the Owl gets a little annoyed by the Jay Bird’s chaotic way of doing things. But, their fates are intertwined, and regardless of their differences, they make a great duo.
THE JAY BIRDTHE OWL'S MESSENGER
He is a peppy and funny little bird. Clumsy and excitable, he can’t speak very well, but can sing more beautifully than anyone in the forest. His dream is to sing for the Kamuy, but he is timid because he can’t keep a beat. To realize his dream, he will need the audience’s help to keep the rhythm.
When he takes up the Owl’s mission to travel to the land of the Kamuy, he doesn’t fully realize its importance. But through this journey, he grows and learns, ultimately becoming
a distinguished hero.
