Indigenous Ainu traditions emphasize communal responsibility (kotan) and restorative dialogue, contrasting with Japan’s individualistic legal response to workplace violence. Applying such perspectives would shift focus from punitive fines to healing circles that involve victims, perpetrators, and the wider work community. Historical Ainu dispute resolution practices demonstrate how harmony can be restored without silencing marginalized voices.
