The 1990 Kamui Mintara - 'Playground of the Gods' monument by Ainu sculptor Nuburi Toko and his son Shusei Toko commemorates the 25-year partnership between the cities of Kushiro in Japan and Burnaby in Canada. The work is based on the animistic tradition of the Ainu, an indigenous people in northern Japan.
