Beauty of the Ainu: Color and Radiance is the catalogue of an exhibition of Ainu crafts held at the Hokkaido Museum of Art, Kushiro, from 1 November to 14 December 2025. Taking "color" and "radiance" as its keys, it introduces the rich sense of colour and decorative expression seen in Ainu clothing, ornaments, woodcraft and more.

It features garments and mats combining pieces of cloth, embroidered sashes of the Kuril Ainu, necklaces using glass beads, ceremonial swords and quivers decorated with metal and deer antler, tobacco cases, makiri knives and more. In addition to embroidery by Mieko Chikap, it introduces works by contemporary artists such as Toru Kaizawa, Hiroyuki Shitakura and Kohei Fujito, conveying traditional and present-day craft expression.
