Story
Eight short films are used to present eight traditions. The format adopted is group performances “linking the present to the past,” based upon insertion of folk songs and stories into the storylines.
The films are based in Okinawa Prefecture, which remained a territory of the United States through 1972. More specifically, the Yaeyama Islands.
The year 2022 marked the 50th anniversary of the return of Okinawa by the United States to mainland Japan. The incorporation of the culture of Yaeyama Islands into the story is meant to strive through the people alive today to once again reflect on the restoration of Okinawa on the occasion of the 50th year of that event. Similarly, it is hoped that the treating traditional aspects as constructive teachings will also furnish opportunities to reflect upon the past. Such concepts serve as the starting point for these films.
