[Introduction to the Contents]
The culture and lifestyle of the islands in the Ryukyu Arc, which are being affected by the development of resorts and the use of bases.
Thirty years have passed since the famous book "『 Shakaku Sanctuary 』", which covers the reality of the destruction of the environment, culture and lifestyle of the islands of Okinawa and Yaeyama due to the "development of resorts" since the return to the mainland in 1972.
Since then, all the problems have been left unaddressed, and the islands have been further eroded by tourism, development, politics and military affairs.
The construction of the Henoko base and the destruction of coral reefs, the construction of Self-Defense Forces bases in Yonaguni, Amamioshima, Miyakojima, Mageshima Island and Ishigakijima, the U.S. bases such as the Osprey accident, the anchoring of cruise ships and foreign tourists … … The beautiful blue sea and white sandy beaches have become resort hotels that local residents cannot enter freely.
The 1991 edition has been greatly expanded to explore the present state of Okinawa, more than 50 years after its "return to the mainland."
