Not a lot of information on this. Glad someone told the story. Still confused about the religion. The older you get the more you realize the entire world is just built on lies, murder, rape and theft. Making the noble word to "conquer" a very nasty and disturbing word.
According to the <<Cairo Declaration>> and <<Potsdam Declaration>>, two the most important legal documents on the international rule and order after World War II, the Kingdom of Ryukyu does not belong to Japan. The five permanent members of the UN should take responsibility and provide international legal protection and material, financial assistance for the restoration of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Of course, when the Ryukyu Kingdom is restored, the U.S. military can negotiate with the new Ryukyu government to allow the U.S. military to stay in Ryukyu, continue to provide national security for the kingdom.
Past to present…some of the most humbled human beings you can ever meet…island screams PEACE literally ✌️ and the vibes of love you just can’t deny! Part American and Oki myself…I love my culture and island!!!
All the comments talking about gaining back independence and being "freed" of the Japanese absolutely don't seem to get it. I'm half Okinawan/American, I lived In Okinawa for 6 years while I was growing up. It's cool and interesting to know this history about my people, that we had a proud line of Kings, but things are different now and most people accept that. Even as an independent state, the Ryukyu Kingdom was always a tributary state of some country or another. I wish the Japanese hadn't been so brutal in the past, with things like suppressing language and culture to become more "Japanese" while still treating them as second-class citizens, but you can't change the past, and there's no good evidence that "giving back independence" is the way to right the wrongs of that past. We are assimilated. Sure there are issues with things like the bases and stuff, but I can't see any benefit to becoming a sovereign state separate from mainland Japan. We get the health care and other social benefits, the protection of being a part of bigger country like Japan so that we aren't taken over by the Chinese and "claimed" the way Taiwan is. I don't get why people think it would be better outside of a longing and nostalgia for a past that can't be revived.
Tell me why after 700 years Spain still want to get rid of Islam??? You have no ball and it doesn't mean others don't. Both Japan and America should p!!s off. Historically, Luchu is like Singapore, way richer than Japan. As a half bastxxd, you are happy just because of some health care and other social benefits😒
@@Abdul-Alhazred what the fuck are you talking about. We're literally the most broke ass prefecture. And you think race mixing is bad? Hmm🤔 sounds pretty racist. And if you consider not getting colonized by China instead of Japan "other social benefits" than yeah I guess I am happy about that. You'll speak for a people you know nothing about as if you're an authority on anything, and you'll dismiss the words of someone like me because I'm not Okinawan enough for a racist like you even though I grew up and lived there for years. For the love of God, go touch grass.
Amazing. I read that your royal ancestors were absorbed/annexed into Edo/Tokyo, does that mean that your clan relocated to the Toko area or perhaps your family chose to leave the country? I am a descendent of Song Dynasty royalty and was amazed that Ryukyuan people share common burial practice (and many beliefs) matching 靈山聖墓 Lingnan Holy Tombs as Southern Chinese, Cantonese, and Fujianese, such people (in most of the Coastal cities) I have discovered to be "Israelite" (God's people as found in biblical people) in origin as our clan names are listed on the Kaifeng Steles in Central China. The steles reference our arrival in the early Zhou Dynasty and mentions Abraham as out ancestor. The other side of my family (from Panyu, Canton - also Southern China) are originally "Sogdian" (a Central Asian people) and they built the Silk Road that actually extended from Kaifeng to Korea and certain Islands in Japan, that I now suspect Ryuku was one of them. Indian Sandalwood used for incense and ceremonial ritual washing before worship are one of the signature imports from India, fragments with Sogdian script have been discovered in Japan, but the strongest evidence would be in the people, their names, culture, and religious practice, that the more I search this area I find more and more small clans that broke away from famous Chinese Imperial clans and went to Japan and Korea. What the mainstream CCP propaganda and Western historians fail to teach is that the Zhou, Tang, Song, and Ming Dynasty people are all related genetically and by religious practice, worshipping the Most High God, Shangdi, and the Lamb of Heaven, the promised Lord of Life. It's detailed in the Chinese Classics, in Rites of Zhou, and most "Confucian" and "Taoist" philosophers believed the same. This belief and worship system was the heart of everything, all religious-governmental life and the whole calendar revolved around the burnt sacrifices, offerings, prayers, fastings, and purification rituals.
@@damienscabinetmaking4243 I claim descendant through my fraternal grandmother. She was born in Naha, Okinawa. She met my grandfather who is a descendant of the imperial family of japan. Most of my grandmother’s relatives still live in Okinawa while most of my grandfather’s relatives live in Hawaii or on mainland japan.
Samurai domains were eaten up by the growing imperial court too. There were 261 samurai domains (250 domains throughout the country, excluding those of the Tokugawa family). Starting in 1871, an Imperial Edict abolished almost all of the Samurai domains and reorganized them 261 into prefectures and administrative cities, samurai rebellions broke out in the following years. From Japan's perspective Okinawa was nothing but just another domain. It isn't covered up, just not particularly any different under their point of view
Jpn should free Ryukyu and let Ryukyu to be independent and back to its glorious kingdom. Jpn has destroyed too much Ryukyu culture. lives, environment.
At least they were able to keep their kingdom until it was dissolved in 1878 But honestly have they sent their armies to assist the Koreans in the imjin war They would’ve had sovereignty until 1878-1945
their fate is sad... every year Okinawan women die at the hands of AMerican soldiers. Ryukyu are punished for something they themselves were victims of
@@aron2974 Occupying their land and cultural genocide, speaking Ryukyu was banned, it is now almost extinct, their culture was banned. but when the Japanese invaded, almost the entire Ryukyu people were annihilated.
These videos were produced by the Okinawan government. So though what you are saying is correct (they probably meant Kamakura anyways) you probably should cast your dispersions elsewhere. The narrator is likely just reading the script he was given. Also -- 'ToKugawa'
Give Ryukyu back to Ryukyuan people ! Japanese get out of Ryukyu ! 21st century need Justice ! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PKp4zd3m94w.html&feature=share
