The Kawamura Kaneto Ainu Museum (川村カ子トアイヌ記念館, Kawamura Kaneto Ainu Kinenkan) is a private museum of materials relating to the Ainu in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, Japan. The museum first opened as the Ainu museum (アイヌ博物館) in 1916.[1] Kawamura Kaneto took over the museum from its founder, his father Kawamura Itakishiroma, and oversaw its development, before his son Kawamura Kenichi (川村兼一) took over in turn.[1][2]
