The Okikurumi 'space god' monument at Hiratori
In 1964 the Cosmic Brotherhood Association built a monument in Ainu country in Hokkaido, claiming the Ainu culture hero Okikurumi was a visitor from space.

The account
The group linked Ainu figures of the kamuy and decorated patterns to 'ancient astronaut' ideas and held ceremonies at the site with some local participation.
The sceptical view
Ainu scholars treat this as an outside reinterpretation of Ainu tradition with no basis in the yukar epics, in which Okikurumi is a divine ancestor who taught people to live.
