Japan Travel: Fun Okinawa! Fun Okinawa Culture at the Okinawa Prefectural Museum in Okinawa Main Island, Okinawa09
Japan’s southern island paradise has a rich and unique history which can learned here, at the Okinawa Prefectural Museum. Relocated in 2007, the museum is housed in a contemporary building in central Naha. There are two separate museums: a history museum and an art museum.
The history museum covers a wide time span: from before the time of the Ryukyu Kingdom to the modern times of today. The museum includes collections of natural history, folklore, crafts and archaeology. Due to the cast amount of Okinawa cultural information presented, visitors could spend a few hours exploring the facility.
The art museum is a bit smaller compared to the history museum. However the collections are displayed in multiple galleries, in art forms including sculptures, paintings, sketches and videos. There is a focus on local artists and themes. The art is rather modern. And there are special exhibitions which require additional fee for viewing.

Visiting the Okinawan Prefectural Building and Congress and the Okinawan Prefectural Museum.
Today we went down to the Okinawan Prefectural Government building where we got a nice tour of the building and also had a welcome speech by the President of the HUOA (Hawaii United Okinawa Association) and also the lieutenant governor of Okinawa. Then after lunch in the lobby on the first floor, they had a mini-concert and then we went on the bus to go to the Okinawa Prefectural Museum. Later that night I went out with my relatives for dinner.

A Walk through Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Museum, Japan
The Basic Concept of the Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Museum
In late March 1945, a fierce battle such as has rarely been seen in history took place on these islands. The Typhoon of Steel that lasted for ninety days disfigured mountains, destroyed much of the cultural legacy, and claimed the precious lives of upward of 200,000 people. The Battle of Okinawa was the only ground fighting fought on Japanese soil and was also the largest-scale campaign of the Asia-Pacific War. Even countless Okinawan civilians were fully mobilized.
A significant aspect of the Battle of Okinawa was the great loss of civilian life. At more than 100,000 civilian losses far outnumbered the military death toll. Some were blown apart by shells, some finding themselves in a hopeless situation were driven to suicide, some died of starvation, some succumbed to malaria, while other fell victim to the retreating Japanese troops. Under the most desperate and unimaginable circumstances, Okinawans directly experienced the absurdity of war and atrocities it inevitably brings about.
This war experience is at the very core of what is popularly called the Okinawan Heart, a resilient yet strong attitude to life that Okinawan people developed as they struggled against the pressures of many years of U. S. military control.
The Okinawan Heart is a human response that respects personal dignity above all else, rejects any acts related to war, and truly cherishes culture, which is a supreme expression of humanity. In order that we may mourn for those who perished during the war, pass on to future generations the historic lessons of the Battle of Okinawa, convey our message to the peoples of the world and thereby established, displaying the whole range of the individual war experiences of the people in this prefecture, the Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Museum.

●About this movie
This movie was made by the Okinawa General Bureau, Economy, Trade and Industry Department, as part of the Regional Collective Trademark case study project.
“Regional Collective Trademark” is a trademark which consists of the respective region’s name along with the respective name of the regional goods or services. In addition to the technique and creativity of the maker, we can find the source of brand value in contents surrounding the trademark, such as the organic connection of history, culture, industry, natural environment and so on.
In this movie, we aim to clarity the value of “Okinawa Aka-gawara Red Roof Tile” (Trademark Reg. No. 5205201) as a regional brand, which is one of the regional collective trademarks, by reviewing and organizing the various perspectives of the makers, users and researchers.
●About Okinawa “Aka-gawara” Red Roof Tiles
Okinawa “aka-gawara” is a traditional roof tile made and used in Okinawa since the seventeenth century. This red unglazed roof tile is made of a raw material called “kucha”- a mudstone which is unique to Okinawa, and these roof tiles have became the identity of Okinawa’s traditional landscape.
During the Ryukyu Kingdom era, Okinawa “aka-gawara” red roof tiles were only allowed to be used for royal establishments, but in 1889 after the kingdom fell and became Okinawa Prefecture of Japan, the use of Okinawa red roof tiles were opened for the public. Nowadays, they are used widely for cultural heritages, public institutions and schools, hotels and resorts, business establishments and regular housing.
The makers of continuously challenging to preserve and pass down the traditional material and technique, while innovating new techniques and shapes to suit the modern needs, in order to protect the landscape and identity of Okinawa.

Okinawa Japan ???????? Pottery Village
#okinawa #japanpottery #mylifeinokinawa
Yomitan is an village in an attractive semi-rural area near Kadena Airbase north of Naha. The village that has preserved Okinawa traditional pottery styles through support for its potter's workshops and kilns. The Japan Tourist web site, says there are 45 potters active in the area. So there are working potteries and their shops at every turn. There is a huge range of traditional and artistic pieces to suit every budget and taste, and the costs are generally less expensive than found in the stores in Tsubo Street in downtown Naha. The impressive thing in the village is the number of hill climbing kilns (noborigama) that are still regularly fired several times a year. (Oops I said once, my bad) Anyone with an interest in traditional pottery will find the area fascinating.
Most stores are Yen Only!!

Okinawa Karate Museum (Nishihara, Okinawa)
Guide: Dr. Tetsuhiro Hokama
沖縄県空手博物館 (沖縄県西原町)
案内: 外間哲弘 館長
Okinawa Karate Museum was founded in Yonagusuku, Nishihara town in January 11th, 1987. It was the first museum for karate and kobudo. I started to collect karate related material when I was at a university. The reason why I
decided to do so is because when I was to write a treatise of karate, I couldn't find enough material. People from all over the world have visited this museum.
More than 300 materials are gathered at this museum.
-- Hi. Thank you for hosting today.
Dr. Hokama: Thank you for coming.
There are a plentiful photo collection of great karate masters. There are some calligraphies of them, too. Here are kobudo weapons. This diagram shows vital spots of human body. Visitors are coming from all over the world. Some
of them left their badges and stickers here for memory. When asked, I sometimes take people on tour to guide karate related sites in Okinawa. I do calligraphy when people want me to. I calligraph the teaching quotation such as Karate ni sente nashi (There is no first strike in karate.)Back in the days, Kanpo (Chinese herbology) took essential role in medical treatment. Kanpo is a part of history of karate. Those equipments are for tanren (karate training). They are for strengthen hands, fingers, feet and legs.
Since karate was developed in Okinawa, one can see abandoned materials of karate on this island. Materials such as great masters' birthplaces,
their gravesites and monuments, so on... In my opinion, Okinawa itself is a karate museum with materials inside and outside of this building altogether.
