Ozato Gusuku, Nanjo Shi, Okinawa, Japan - April 7, 2019
My GoPro hat cam turned out to be too choppy despite my best efforts to walk slowly and carefully. Next time I go out I'm taking along - and using - the gimbal.
THE STORY:
Shimashi Ozato Gusuku is in the Ozato district of Okinawa.
Designated as an historical site in 2003 by Nanjo City. This castle was built for Lord Shimashi Ozato, the Aji, who controlled the Shimajiri region around the 14th century.
Shimashi Ozato Gusuku's construction, with its back to a cliff and its strong walls, skillfully makes use of the natural landscape.
Ōzato Castle (大里城 Ōzato jō, Okinawan: Ufuzatu Gushiku), officially Shimasoe-Ōzato Castle (島添大里城 Shimasoe-Ōzato jō, Okinawan: Shimashii-Ufuzatu Gushiku),
is a Ryukyuan gusuku built in Nanzan and used until 1429. It, and the village of Ōzato, are named after the Ōzato Dynasty of Nanzan. It is in ruins.
Nanzan was established in 1314 when the Lord of Shimajiri-Ōzato, Ōzato Ofusato, broke away from the chieftain Tamagusuku at Urasoe Castle. The castle was built in
the 14th century West of the farming village of Ōzato, and became the seat of the Aji of Ōzato Magiri. It fell into disuse after the capture of Nanzan Castle in 1429.
During an excavation of the site, Chinese ceramics were found, showing the extensive trade that Nanzan had done with Ming China. In 2012, Ōzato castle became an officially designated historical site on Okinawa Island.
The gusuku is 200 meters east-to-west, and 100 meters north-to-south with an area more than 20,000 sq meters and one of largest in the prefecture.
A true temple built on a platform one step higher and a garden in front It is in a flat configuration. The foundation stone to support the pillar was confirmed from several places by past investigators.
The area of residence of Osato Shimazoe is about 22 meters x 13 meters and it is believed that a reconstruction was carried out several times.
Some of the castle walls remain in various places and an excavation survey has confirmed the foundation that has escaped quarrying.
Excavated artifacts include pottery, Kamuyaki, Chinese ceramics and other Asian-made ceramics, Japanese-made ceramics, ironware, stoneware, and ornaments. Many historical items such as coins, and natural relics have been identified.

Chinen Castle Ruins: Walking Through The Site [Limited Editing]
Chuu uganabira! My name is Kathryn and I have been living on the beautiful island of Okinawa for almost a decade. I spend most of my time immersing myself in the culture, learning about the history of the island and way of life past and present. In 2011 I decided to start sharing my experiences here on YouTube to offer newcomers and those interested in the island the perspective of someone who has been living here long term.

知念[ ちねん]城跡 bj13.mov
知念地区にある知念城跡。
沖縄最古の歌集、『おもろさうし』にも謡われた知念按司の居城とされています。
知念城跡は自然の形のままの石を積んだ古い城と、一定の形に切った石を整然と積み上げる
切石積みで出来た新しい城の二つの郭からできています。
特に正門と裏門の石造りのアーチ門はつくりが美しく、印象的です。
知念城跡では、平成１４年度から行われた発掘調査で
１３世紀から１５世紀を中心にした土器や輸入陶磁器、
それに金属製品のほか、骨類や貝類などが出土しています。
また、この場所は、明治時代まで番所や学校などとして使われ続けていたことから
一帯からは当時の厨房跡なども見つかっていて
中世から近代までのものが入り交ざった複雑な遺構となっています。
一方、城の外には石畳の道を挟んで、古い屋敷が点在していて、
付近には「受水走水」（うきんじゅ・はいんじゅ）と同様に
稲作発祥の地と言われている泉＝「ウファカル」もあります。
知念城跡は昭和４７年[ 1972年]に国から史跡に指定されています。

Chinen Peninsula, Okinawa 1988 or 89
First things first - Chinen is in the SOUTHEAST, not the southwest as I said while filming. My bad.
These videos were made for sending home to my folks while I was on island.
In the course of re-tooling the website I am trying to eliminate a bunch of the old 1990s-vintage
coding and especially focusing on the Scrapbook which is admittedly a mess. I want to retain the
images from the old days though and in doing so have created this Legacy Series. I can't bring
myself to throw away those old photos so I think this is the best way to keep 'em in storage! I have
included the commentary that I provided on the original pages verbatim. Those comments reflect my
understanding of what the photos represented at that time. In time my entire website will be a legacy!
In addition to the photos that I've salvaged from the Scrapbook the Legacy Series will include my old
home movies (Super-8 in the 1970s) and 3rd generation copies of VHS and 8mm video from the '80s-1990.

沖縄 垣花城跡 Okinawa Kakinohana-Gusuku
作られた年代は明らかではありませんが、同じ南部にある糸数城などとと同じ１４世紀前半頃ではないかと言われています。自然の形のままの琉球石灰岩を積み上げた野面積みという方法で、石をそれぞれうまく組み合わさるような形に加工した後に積み上げられる相方積みなどと比べると古い形式のものだという事が解ります。
