Japan hunters Scared of bears

It has been quite a few years that I visited Japan (Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Nagasaki) and US, west and east coast. (Houston, Savannah, Norfolk, New York, Seattle, Long Beach, etc)
In my memory remained extremely friendly people in both countries, easy to make contact with, but USA was much cheaper then Japan cities.
I am not sure how average American sees the average price of living in America today. But by judging the prices of hunting equipment - the USA, is very affordable compared to Europe

There was a strong professionalism culture in both countries, Japan and USA, jobs on all levels done in fast, safe and efficient manner, with flawless paperwork.
With the current exchange rates and weakness of Yen, Japan became much cheaper compared to years back.
 
I read an article in a magazine last Fall, I think it was Ethos, about a people in Northern Japan who hunted bears specifically. It was a ritual for them. They apparently did this for many many decades or even centuries. They were called the Ainu and I think they were considered out cast from the Japanese.

I looked up on Amazon.
 
Ainu are the remnants of the original native tribes there . With different features and fairer complex than the now we know as Japanese . It’s still a mystery where they came from originally, looking much Sami and more . But a seafaring people more focused on the hunts .

I have no idea the shipping cost from here to Costa Rica. I can do my research on shipping and get back with you later today.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
