Lecturer: Nobuaki Kanazawa (Mame Shobo (Okinawa-related books & craft items) shopkeeper)
Since the Ryukyu era, many gods and demons have been “right next to” Okinawa. People have naturally received invisible things. The ghost story transmitted there is scary and mysterious, creeps real but somewhere humorous.
Nobuaki Kanazawa, a bookstore specializing in Okinawan books in Kobe, explains Okinawan customs and the view of death and life in Okinawa, along with a recitation of the rare Okinawan book “scary story book”.
