Okinawa Island is the largest of the Okinawa Prefecture's islands, located in the East China Sea between Taiwan and mainland Japan. The island has a rich and complex history, having been the center of the Ryukyu Kingdom from the 15th to the 19th century before becoming part of Japan. This historical background has created a distinct cultural identity that blends Japanese, Chinese, and indigenous Ryukyuan influences.
The island's cultural heritage is reflected in its traditional architecture, crafts such as bingata textiles and pottery, and performing arts including Ryukyuan dance. Okinawa was also the site of one of World War II's most significant battles, and numerous museums and memorials on the island preserve this important historical period.
Today, while maintaining its traditional culture, Okinawa Island serves as a major cultural and economic hub in southern Japan, known for its unique customs, subtropical climate, and distinctive arts scene.
