Ryukyuan dance – Tanchame 谷茶前 is one of the Zo Odori (Popular Dance)
As presentations of pastoral life in the Tancha hamlet of Onna Village, the performance involving young couples constitutes a wonderful Zo or popular dance performance.
The men carry oars, while the women hold baskets of woven straw (baaki) to carry the catch from the ocean waters. The light jazzy rhythm reflects the joy of a bountiful catch and all that it entails.

“Wonder Okinawa“ This is a great website created by Okinawa Prefecture (Okinawa Government)
They put a lot of time and effort presenting Okinawa’s history and culture. They also have valuable sources for tourist and much more. I have listed all the contents below with links to each site. Each site is magnificently filled with information, lots of images, music, and movies that you can’t get anywhere else and they are translated in English and in Japanese.
I am very pleased of their excellent work and I have enjoyed learning more about Okinawa and I am more educated in my heritage. I just can’t wait until my next visit to Okinawa!
