This full color film from WWII documents the invasion of the Ryukyu Islands including Okinawa. The Battle of Okinawa, codenamed Operation Iceberg, was fought on the Ryukyu Islands of Okinawa and was the largest amphibious assault in the Pacific War of World War II. The 82-day-long battle lasted from early April until mid-June 1945. After a long campaign of island hopping, the Allies were approaching Japan, and planned to use Okinawa, a large island only 340 mi (550 km) away from mainland Japan, as a base for air operations on the planned invasion of Japanese mainland (coded Operation Downfall). Four divisions of the U.S. 10th Army (the 7th, 27th, 77th, and 96th) and two Marine Divisions (the 1st and 6th) fought on the island. Their invasion was supported by naval, amphibious, and tactical air forces.
The battle has been referred to as the "typhoon of steel" in English, and tetsu no ame ("rain of steel") or tetsu no bōfū ("violent wind of steel") in Japanese. The nicknames refer to the ferocity of the fighting, the intensity of kamikaze attacks from the Japanese defenders, and to the sheer numbers of Allied ships and armored vehicles that assaulted the island. The battle resulted in the highest number of casualties in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Based on Okinawan government sources,mainland Japan lost 77,166 soldiers, who were either killed or committed suicide, and the Allies suffered 14,009 deaths (with an estimated total of more than 65,000 casualties of all kinds). Simultaneously, 42,000–150,000 local civilians were killed or committed suicide, a significant proportion of the local population. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki together with the Soviet invasion of Manchuria caused Japan to surrender less than two months after the end of the fighting on Okinawa.

US Navy World War II aerial combat action. Fifth fleet aircraft carrier based planes strike Japanese ships, planes, airfields and other land targets in the Ryukyu Islands (presumably Okinawa island). Japanese aircraft return the favor by attacking the U.S. fleet. Lots of great gun camera footage including a few HE rockets in this one! ( with sound and narration )

Beautifully melodic, heartfelt and uplifting, there is a sense of immediacy and sincerity in Okinawan folk music that strikes a chord with listeners. The form, distinctively performed on the sanshin (a three-stringed lute), is deeply rooted in the history of the island.
For Misako Koja, Namiko Miyazato and Yukino Hayane, the original members of the popular Okinawan folk group Nenes known to have introduced this genre to the world in the ’90s, two decades of being apart have not diminished their ability to command the stage.
In their latest incarnation since they parted ways in 1997, the three are back with more social messages to share, and have joined forces with Emiko Shimabukuro to form Unaigumi. The group performs a range of traditional Okinawan and shima uta (new folk) songs in traditional costumes, and their music often carries anti-war sentiments and words of hope and peace. The word "unai" of Unaigumi means “sisters” in the Okinawan dialect, and the four are just that.

Ryukyu Islands
The Ryukyu Islands /riˈuːkjuː/ (琉球諸島, Ryūkyū-shotō),known in Japanese as the Nansei Islands (南西諸島, Nansei-shotō, lit. "Southwest Islands") and also known as the Ryukyu Arc (琉球弧, Ryūkyū-ko), are a chain of Japanese islands that stretch southwest from Kyushu to Taiwan: the Ōsumi, Tokara, Amami, Okinawa, and Sakishima Islands (further divided into the Miyako and Yaeyama Islands), with Yonaguni the southernmost. The larger are mostly volcanic islands and the smaller ones are mostly coral islands. The largest of the islands is Okinawa.
The climate of the islands ranges from humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa) in the north to tropical rainforest climate (Köppen climate classification Af) in the south. Precipitation is very high, and is affected by the rainy season and typhoons. Except the outlying Daitō Islands, the island chain has two major geologic boundaries, the Tokara Strait between the Tokara and Amami Islands, and the Kerama Gap between the Okinawa and Miyako Islands. The islands beyond the Tokara Strait are characterized by their coral reefs.

Okinawa Prefecture
Okinawa Prefecture (Japanese: 沖縄県, Hepburn: Okinawa-ken, Okinawan: ウチナーチン Uchinaa-chin) is the southernmost prefecture of Japan. It comprises hundreds of the Ryukyu Islands in a chain over 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) long. The Ryukyus extend southwest from Kyushu (the southwesternmost of Japan's main four islands) to Taiwan. The Okinawa Prefecture encompasses the southern two thirds of that chain. Naha, Okinawa's capital, is located in the southern part of Okinawa Island.
History
The oldest evidence of human existence on the Ryukyu islands is from the Stone Age and was discovered in Naha and Yaese. Some human bone fragments from the Paleolithic era were unearthed, but there is no clear evidence of Paleolithic remains. Japanese Jōmon influences are dominant on the Okinawa Islands, although clay vessels on the Sakishima Islands have a commonality with those in Taiwan.
The first mention of the word Ryukyu was written in the Book of Sui. Okinawa was the Japanese word identifying the islands, first seen in the biography of Jianzhen, written in 779. Agricultural societies begun in the 8th century slowly developed until the 12th century. Since the islands are located at the eastern perimeter of the East China Sea relatively close to Japan, China and South-East Asia, the Ryukyu Kingdom became a prosperous trading nation. Also during this period, many Gusukus, similar to castles, were constructed. The Ryukyu Kingdom entered into the Imperial Chinese tributary system under the Ming dynasty beginning in the 15th century, which established economic relations between the two nations.

This full color film from WWII documents the invasion of the Ryukyu Islands including Okinawa. The Battle of Okinawa, codenamed Operation Iceberg, was fought on the Ryukyu Islands of Okinawa and was the largest amphibious assault in the Pacific War of World War II. The 82-day-long battle lasted from early April until mid-June 1945. After a long campaign of island hopping, the Allies were approaching Japan, and planned to use Okinawa, a large island only 340 mi (550 km) away from mainland Japan, as a base for air operations on the planned invasion of Japanese mainland (coded Operation Downfall). Four divisions of the U.S. 10th Army (the 7th, 27th, 77th, and 96th) and two Marine Divisions (the 1st and 6th) fought on the island. Their invasion was supported by naval, amphibious, and tactical air forces.
The battle has been referred to as the "typhoon of steel" in English, and tetsu no ame ("rain of steel") or tetsu no bōfū ("violent wind of steel") in Japanese. The nicknames refer to the ferocity of the fighting, the intensity of kamikaze attacks from the Japanese defenders, and to the sheer numbers of Allied ships and armored vehicles that assaulted the island. The battle resulted in the highest number of casualties in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Based on Okinawan government sources,mainland Japan lost 77,166 soldiers, who were either killed or committed suicide, and the Allies suffered 14,009 deaths (with an estimated total of more than 65,000 casualties of all kinds). Simultaneously, 42,000–150,000 local civilians were killed or committed suicide, a significant proportion of the local population. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki together with the Soviet invasion of Manchuria caused Japan to surrender less than two months after the end of the fighting on Okinawa.

11 May, Sun at Esplanade
Beautifully melodic, heartfelt and uplifting, there is a sense of immediacy and sincerity in Okinawan folk music that strikes a chord with listeners. The form, distinctively performed on the sanshin (a three-stringed lute), is deeply rooted in the history of the island.
For Misako Koja, Namiko Miyazato and Yukino Hayane, the original members of the popular Okinawan folk group Nenes known to have introduced this genre to the world in the ’90s, two decades of being apart have not diminished their ability to command the stage.
In their latest incarnation since they parted ways in 1997, the three are back with more social messages to share, and have joined forces with Emiko Shimabukuro to form Unaigumi. The group performs a range of traditional Okinawan and shima uta (new folk) songs in traditional costumes, and their music often carries anti-war sentiments and words of hope and peace. The word "unai" of Unaigumi means “sisters” in the Okinawan dialect, and the four are just that.

The Ryukyu Kingdom - Shuri Castle in OKINAWA, Japan! // JP14 - ep.10
Hi all! In this video, I'll give you a glimpse into the history of Okinawa, as it was once a sovereign state known as the Ryukyu Kingdom. The Kingdom has previously been linked to both Japan and China's Ming Dynasty. In fact, at one point it was subservient to both at the same time! After being formally annexed by Japan in the 19th century, the Monarchy is no longer in power, but their palace, Shuri Castle, still stands today despite repeated destruction and reconstruction. Today it serves as one of Okinawa's prime tourist attractions, a symbol of their history, and a prestigious venue fit for a banquet hosting the G8 leaders in the year 2000! This video also shows my arrival in Kyoto. :) If you have any questions about Okinawa, Japan or anything else, feel free to ask me in the commen...

OKINAWA TRIP pt.3 - Ishigaki Island
I spent some time on Ishigaki Island during my trip through Okinawa Prefecture. Ishigaki is a gorgeous island and I spent a lot of time just enjoying the nature there. Honestly, I really need to go back. There was so much there and I didn't even scratch the surface. It was also a little to cold to do any type of water activities so I believe a return trip is definitely in order. But I hope you like this video showing off Ishigaki's beautiful scenery.

Visiting Kerama Islands, Okinawa Prefecture, Group of islands in Japan
The Kerama Islands (慶良間諸島 Kerama-shotō?, Okinawan: キラマ Kirama) are a group of 22 islands located 32 kilometres (20 mi) southwest of Okinawa Island in Japan. Four of the islands are inhabited: Tokashiki Island, Zamami Island, Aka Island, and Geruma Island.[1] The islands are within Shimajiri District.[2] The Kerama-shotō coral reef is a Ramsar Site.[3] During World War II and preliminary to the Battle of Okinawa, soldiers of the 77th Infantry Division landed in the Kerama Islands on March 26, 1945. Further landings followed, and the Kerama group was secured over the next five days. Kerama was used as a staging area for the assault on Okinawa. During the battle the first civilian mass suicides that later marked the Battle of Okinawa took place. For more info, visit this link: https://en.wik...

Okinawa Island (沖縄本島 Okinawa-hontō?, alternatively 沖縄島 Okinawa-jima; Okinawan: 沖縄/うちなー Uchinaa or 地下/じじ jiji;[1] Kunigami: ふちなー Huchináa) is the largest of the Okinawa Islands and the Ryukyu (Nansei) Islands of Japan. The island has an area of 1,201.03 square kilometers (463.72 sq mi). It is roughly 640 kilometres (400 mi) south of the rest of Japan. The city of Naha, the capital of Okinawa Prefecture, is located there.
The island's population is known as one of the longest-lived people in the world,[2] together with the Sardinians whose island is located in the Mediterranean sea (22 centenarians/100,000 inhabitants); in fact, there are 34 centenarians per 100,000 people, which is more than three times the rate in Japan.

Explore Okinawa: Art, Culture and Cuisine from the Ryukyu Islands
http://www.japansociety.org/event/explore-okinawa-art-culture-and-cuisine-from-the-ryukyu-islands
Okinawa Prefecture is a chain of islands that forms an arc off the southwestern tip of the Japanese archipelago. Located near the center of East Asia, Okinawa has developed a unique culture through its tropical climate and trading with other Asian countries since the 14th century. In this program, participants have the chance to delve into the strikingly unique culture of the tropical islands of Okinawa. Takao Kadekaru, Senior Executive Director of the Okinawa Convention & Visitors Bureau, introduces the Okinawan way of life through history and local culture. Hiroko Shou, Professor Emeritus of the University of the Ryukyus and a specialist in nutrition, speaks about Okinawan cuisine and its relationship with longevity. Textile artist Hiroshi Jashiki discusses Okinawan arts and crafts, including the vibrantly colored bingata textiles. Moderated by Susan Hamaker, freelance writer and President of the Okinawa American Association in NY. Followed by a tasting reception of Okinawan cuisine.
Tasting menu:
Bingata roll: A colorful salmon roll with cucumber and turmeric-tinted rice, representing the vibrant patterns of bingata textiles
Rafute: Braised pork belly simmered in soy sauce, awamori liquor, and Okinawan brown sugar
Jimami tofu: A sweet and savory tofu dish seasoned with peanut butter and sweet potato starch
Goya chanpuru: Okinawa’s signature stir-fry, made with egg, tofu, and the exotic green goya, or “bitter melon”
Mozuku: A healthy seaweed treat that has a mild flavor and is loaded with nutrients
Okinawan beer: A light, crisp beer brewed in Okinawa, which is perfect for the islands’ tropical climate
Sanpin tea: A floral green tea similar to jasmine, Sanpin is the most popular variety of tea in Okinawa
Shikwasa juice: Made from the shikwasa citrus fruit, this juice has a pleasant balance of sweet and tart notes
Awamori Cocktail: Cocktail made from Okinawa’s distinctive awamori liquor, which has a smooth, deep flavor

Welcome to my channel! I’m Cat, an English teacher living and working in Tottori prefecture, Japan. I make twice-weekly videos about travel, culture, food, and daily life in Japan. I think they’re pretty funny.
If you’re interested in learning more about the interesting, surprising, and just plain weird facets of Japanese culture, subscribe to my channel and follow me on my travels. And if there’s a landmark you want me to check out, food you want me to eat, or topic you want me to cover (why DO schoolgirls wear sailor uniforms?), feel free to make a request.
Stay tuned for adventures abroad, as well, as I travel outside of Japan to experience the incredible variety of culture throughout Asia.

Hi all! In this video, I'll give you a glimpse into the history of Okinawa, as it was once a sovereign state known as the Ryukyu Kingdom.
The Kingdom has previously been linked to both Japan and China's Ming Dynasty. In fact, at one point it was subservient to both at the same time! After being formally annexed by Japan in the 19th century, the Monarchy is no longer in power, but their palace, Shuri Castle, still stands today despite repeated destruction and reconstruction.
Today it serves as one of Okinawa's prime tourist attractions, a symbol of their history, and a prestigious venue fit for a banquet hosting the G8 leaders in the year 2000!
This video also shows my arrival in Kyoto. :)

I spent some time on Ishigaki Island during my trip through Okinawa Prefecture. Ishigaki is a gorgeous island and I spent a lot of time just enjoying the nature there.
Honestly, I really need to go back. There was so much there and I didn't even scratch the surface. It was also a little to cold to do any type of water activities so I believe a return trip is definitely in order.
But I hope you like this video showing off Ishigaki's beautiful scenery.
Much love and happy travels

The Kerama Islands (慶良間諸島 Kerama-shotō?, Okinawan: キラマ Kirama) are a group of 22 islands located 32 kilometres (20 mi) southwest of Okinawa Island in Japan. Four of the islands are inhabited: Tokashiki Island, Zamami Island, Aka Island, and Geruma Island.[1] The islands are within Shimajiri District.[2] The Kerama-shotō coral reef is a Ramsar Site.[3]
During World War II and preliminary to the Battle of Okinawa, soldiers of the 77th Infantry Division landed in the Kerama Islands on March 26, 1945. Further landings followed, and the Kerama group was secured over the next five days. Kerama was used as a staging area for the assault on Okinawa. During the battle the first civilian mass suicides that later marked the Battle of Okinawa took place. For more info, visit this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerama_Islands
