From aside the reason, I
suddenly went to Japan's southernmost Okinawa prefecture on June 17-18th.
Unfortunately, the
departure and arrival time of the plane on the 16th and 17th was significantly
delayed.
After all, the only
tourist attraction I visited was Shuri Castle which
I have been to Okinawa
more than a dozen times, but for the first time I visited the world heritage
site Shuri Castle.
A monarchy that has existed in the southwestern islands of
Japan for about 450 years
The Ryukyu Kingdom was
established about 570 years ago (1429) and existed in the southwest islands of
Japan for about 450 years, up to about 120 years ago (1879).
In addition, the unique
architectural style and stone-building technology that combines the culture of
the castle of the Japan and China has a high cultural and historical value, and
the ruins of Shuri Castle were registered as the 11th World Heritage Site in
Japan in December 2000.
The bright red color of
the figure is a male figure that conveys the life of the kingdom's history and
culture, and it can be said that it is a symbol of Okinawa.
