The Okinawan islands, which are located at the crossroads of East Asia and the Pacific region, have developed a unique culture by absorbing the materials and elements of surrounding areas. Historically, the Kingdom of Ryukyu (1429 - 1879) succeeded in developing intricate crafts and performing arts by promoting cultural exchange with Japan, China and other East and Southeast Asian nations and regions. In this presentation, referring to the geographical and historical position of Okinawa, the distinctive characteristics and beauty of Okinawan culture will be briefly introduced.
