In Okinawa, the period around February and March of the Old calendar is called “Urizun (Early summer),” and the period around April and May in the Old calendar is called “young summer.” The Southern Cross and two first magnitude stars in the constellation Centaurus called “Pai Gabushi” shine in the southern sky of Yaeyama during this period. We will guide you through the gorgeous night sky where you can see all seven first-magnitude stars in spring, along with an aromatic scent inspired by spring in Yaeyama. Full-length live commentary with tonight's starry sky commentary (screening time approx. 35 minutes)
