Former Kiya Takeshi Family Residence / Okinawa World Ryukyu Kingdom Castle Town
Okinawa World is located in Nanjo City in the southern part of Okinawa Prefecture. It is a registered tangible cultural property located in the castle town of the Ryukyu Kingdom, where red-tiled kominka houses that recreate the townscape of the Ryukyu dynasty are lined up.
It is a private house built in the late Meiji era, and it is a building that miraculously survived the ravages of war in the most intense place during the war. It was moved here from its original location.
It is now used as a hands-on workshop. There were quite a few people who experienced it ^^
It is a valuable building that I would like to preserve in the future.

Okinawa World is located in Nanjo City in the southern part of Okinawa Prefecture. I went to the castle town of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which reproduces the townscape of the Ryukyu Dynasty era lined with red tile kominka, which is a registered tangible cultural property.
The building in the photo is a private house that miraculously survived the ravages of war and was the site of the most intense ground battle of the Pacific War. On the pillars on the side of the corridor, the scars of shells received during the war were still vivid. The building was moved here from its original location.
Since it was relocated, it has been used as a hands-on workshop.
A very valuable building that tells the history of the Battle of Okinawa, I want to preserve it for a long time.

World Heritage Site Nakijin Castle Ruins Wall Illumination / Nakijin Gusuku Cherry Blossom Festival /
Nakijin Castle Ruins, a World Heritage Site located in Nakijin Village in northern Okinawa Prefecture
Japan's earliest cherry blossom festival started here in the northern part of the country. I went to see the beautiful cherry blossoms at night and the fantastic illumination of the castle walls, but the cherry blossoms were still in bloom for 3~5 minutes.
The cherry blossoms in Okinawa are called Kanhizakura and are dark pink. It usually blooms in mid-January ~ early February.
I didn't get a shot of the cherry blossoms and the city walls, but I hope to be able to introduce them next time when the cherry blossom front moves south to the south.

Japan's earliest Sakura Festival is also held, and it will be lit up during the period.
It was a pity that Sakura bloomed for 3~5 minutes, but tears
If it was cloudy and sunny on this day, I think the starry sky would have been beautiful.

The Nakijin Gusuku Cherry Blossom Festival is being held now, and the illumination of the castle walls is a sight to behold.
Colors such as blue, pink, and green color the castle walls and are beautiful ^^
It would have been better if it had been sunny...

Yachimun Tsuboya yaki / Tsuboya yaki Yachimun dojo
There is a Tsuboya yaki and Chimun dojo in a quiet place where the original scenery remains in a side street from Tsuboya Yachimun Street in Naha City. It is built of wood on old-fashioned Ryukyu red tiles, and a big Shisa is guarded in front. ^^
Here, you can make not only yachimun, but also shisa. There were many people who experienced it, and it seemed to be fun to hear their laughter. If I have the chance, I would definitely like to make my own Shisa!

Ryukyu Indigo Dyeing Fabric / Okinawa Craft Forest
It is an Okinawa craft forest in Tomigusuku, Tomigusu City, Ryukyu indigo dyeing experience workshop. A dye called mud indigo is made from a plant called Ryukyu indigo, and you can experience weaving using yarn dyed with it.
It has been used as one of the dyes for various traditional textiles in Okinawa since the Ryukyu Dynasty.
I will weave the yarn using a hand-made loom, but at first I had a hard time getting the point, but it turned out quite well ^^ It's a coaster
I would be happy if there were people who would support Okinawa's traditional crafts through this experience corner.

Yachimun Tsuboya yaki / Tsuboya Yachimun Street
It is one of the traditional crafts of Okinawa "Yachimun". Pottery is called yachimun in the Okinawan language.
In Tsuboya Yachimun Street in Tsuboya, Naha City, there is a shop with a new design that is also liked by young people from traditional designs. Yachimun is characterized by a strong and delicate painting on a thick and sturdy model. The shop is Guma Guwa, which has a very stylish exterior and is popular for its designs with plant and animal motifs. When I stopped by the other day, I bought a small plate on impulse ^^
I hope that the traditional craft "Yachimun", which has been around since the Ryukyu Dynasty, and the traditional shape and beauty will be inherited in the future.
