“ For the Ainu, gold wasn't something they needed in their daily lives... It was useless to them. In fact, it was worse than useless. When the Ainu panned the rivers for gold, the rivers became polluted and the Ainu starved. You said that kamuy reside in all things, correct? (...) So if gold were to have a kamuy...!! Would it not be an evil god? One that brought misfortune to the Ainu people? Those who touch it meet a horrible death... It would be a kamuy more hideous and brutal than any other... A kamuy so beautiful as to be dazzling... One that shines with a golden light. What you could call... A golden kamuy, so to speak. ”
