"The U.S. military is building a new base on that marine experts and the Okinawa prefectural government say could threaten marine ecosystems, including coral reefs and thousands of marine species, desecrate Ryukyuan ancestor remains, and bring even more pollution and contamination. This week, a group of Uchinaanchus is at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Issues calling for urgent intervention."

Watching and enjoying the anime series “Blue Lock ブルーロック” and noticed the writer is one Kaneshiro Muneyuki 金城宗幸. First thought is a fellow shimanchu! He’s from Osaka but not much else is known about him.

Picked up these three 太陽別冊 図鑑 books on and cultures. They may not be the same as a dense scholarly publication, but I'm glad for the beautiful pictures, and content touching upon a wide range of aspects of the history and culture.

My thanks to Luke Roberts for spotting and buying me this book, a post-1799 copy of the Rikuyu engi 六諭衍義, a Chinese book of essays on morals first introduced to Japan by the scholar-official 程順則 in 1714, and first published in Japan in 1722.

One of many examples of things introduced from Luchu into , and a neat thing to get to show in class.
