Bikki Sunazawa (also Bikky Sunazawa, Hisao Sunazawa) (砂澤ビッキ) (March 6, 1931 – January 25, 1989) was a Japanese self-taught woodcarver, painter, artist and sculptor of Ainu origin. Sunazawa is respected for helping make the Ainu culture known to the world through his works performed in the Ainu manner.[1] Sunazawa is also known for designing the Ainu flag in 1971. His son Oki, an Ainu Japanese musician, applies the same approach to music.
