In Okinawa, currency and banks were suspended during the Battle of Okinawa, and people's lives began in the “no-currency era,” which relied on barter exchanges and US military distribution. Since then, the currency has changed over and over again, depending on the policies of America and Japan. This exhibition focuses on materials from the collection, and unravels the history and episodes related to money in Okinawa that have changed with the times and come around.
In the lobby, a panel exhibition will be held that explores the person of international political scientist Takashi Wakaizumi, who was Prime Minister Eisaku Sato's secret agent (missy) in Okinawa return negotiations with America, and his relationship with Okinawa.
