In Okinawa, during festivals, local men cooperate to fish, offer fish caught by themselves to the gods, and sometimes eat them together. Currently, however, as Okinawan society changes, such traditions have been lost and forgotten along with people's technology and knowledge of using the ocean.
In this special exhibition, we will introduce the state of fishing boats during the festival, which were investigated and taken with local residents on Kudaka Island and Tarama Island, with photographs and videos.
