One of the many delightful things about visiting Hokkaido with a giant history nerd is that we keep going to very serious government run museums and every time after we're done learning about the history of colonization or agricultural production or disputed territorial boundaries we turn the corner to the gift shop and there's a giant display of Golden Kamuy merch. Now that you've learned why Vladimir Putin is wrong about Russia's borders perhaps you'd like a huge art print of your favorite burly guy.
I found my boy!!!
It's a good thing I did watch Golden Kamuy because otherwise I would be having a VERY confusing time at these historic sites.
The Museum of Northern Peoples isn't even officially participating in this anime event, the curator just casually references the manga and dresses his little bird statues up as his favorite guys for the love of the game.
