[[Ainu]] bark-cloth robes are called ''attus'' in the indigenous [[Ainu language]].

Traditional [[Ainu]] garb includes bark cloth robes called ''attus'', and embroidered cotton robes called ''ruunpe'' and ''ciciri'', as well as several other types of garments.

 

Ainu robes can be found in many anthropological or natural history collections around the world; while these robes are still made and used in Ainu communities, there are also Ainu today both in [[Hokkaido|Hokkaidô]] and in the [[Kanto|Kantô]] who work to recreate old traditional motifs and forms. It can take up to a full year to produce a traditional garment; each embroidered design must be sewn three times over.
