Okinawa Ryukyu Crafts & Theater Experience
Residence Kajiku
- Experience a cultural tourism activity where you can immerse yourself in Ryukyu crafts by creating Ryukyu Bingata and Ryukyu Hariko in the morning and afternoon respectively, followed by enjoying a multilingual guided Okinawa drama in your native language.
- Bingata is used as a backdrop for performing arts, while Ryukyu Hariko serves as toys that mimic performing arts characters. Both are Ryukyu crafts passed down from the Ryukyu Kingdom.
- Make Bingata backdrops and Ryukyu Hariko figures of Okinawa drama characters, combining these two crafts into a set. Each experience interacts with the other, allowing you to experience the Ryukyu craft culture hands-on.
- Okinawa drama was the greatest entertainment for the people of Okinawa Prefecture before the advent of television and movies; the Okinawa dialect lines are accompanied by guidance in 5 languages (Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, English, and Japanese).
- Our organization is the only one in the prefecture that offers multilingual guided appreciation of Okinawa drama. You can enjoy a high-quality viewing experience at the same level as Okinawa language speakers, allowing you to deeply enjoy Okinawa's unique entertainment.
