Since the opening of Shurijo Castle Park in Heisei 4 (1992), the Okinawa Churashima Foundation has collected Okinawan cultural properties along with the management and operation of Shurijo Castle Park. The collected materials span various fields such as dyeing and weaving, lacquerwork, painting, calligraphy, ceramics, and metalwork. Not only the building but also the materials in the collection were damaged by the Shuri Castle fire that occurred in the first year of Reiwa (2019). The Okinawa Churashima Foundation has observed and investigated the condition of materials damaged from the fire until today, and is working on repairs and restoration. In this exhibition, we will introduce the Foundation's activities utilizing the Shurijo Castle Fund and the efforts of engineers and workshops cooperating with preservation, repair, and restoration production.
