Naha Okinawa Play Multilingual Guide Appreciation

Okinawan theater is a popular Okinawan performing art that was enjoyed as people’s greatest pleasure before the widespread use of television and movies. Because it has been loved by the common people for about 140 years, the stories are easy to understand, the characters have a certain charm, and even first-time viewers are naturally drawn in. With the sound of the sanshin and songs, dances and humorous plays unfold one after another, and before you know it, you’re laughing out loud – it’s such an enjoyable time.
