Many Okinawan immigrants gathered in the Tsurumi district of Yokohama City from the Taisho period, and today it is known as “Little Okinawa.” “Okinawan performing arts,” which were brought in along with immigration, became popular as entertainment and hobbies, fostered ethnic identities, and eventually a movement aimed at passing them on to the next generation was born.
This exhibition is a panel exhibition of research reports on such research related to Tsurumi Ward in Yokohama City. By re-evaluating entertainers in Tsurumi, including the deceased, and clarifying the position of “Tsurumi's Okinawan performing arts” in Okinawan entertainment history, the goal is to show the importance of regional culture and performing arts, leading to the preservation of culture and performing arts in local communities. Information provided by visitors can also be used for future research.
