Okinawa
Travel
Culture
When people on the main island of Okinawa hear the dialect of “Miyakojima,” they often hear the story “I don’t know what they are saying.”
The island has its own language and customs in the area. It cannot be categorized as “Uchinaguchi (Okinawa dialect)”. I think that is one of the attractions of Okinawa.
sometimes feel this from “Uchinanchu (Okinawa people)”.
・Live and let live.
・ There are things that are important to others, just as there are things that are important to you.
It may be the sensibility unique to Uchinanchu, which was created by interacting with various cultures.
By the way, this time is the second part of the world heritage site “Katsuren Castle Ruins”. I would like to take a look with Katsuren Castle about the prosperity of Katsuren, the secret of the stone stairs, and the “folk religion” in Okinawa.

An exclusive interview with Miwa Komatsu, a contemporary artist who is active on the world stage, Part 2.
Ms. Komatsu is going to be part of the TV program Another Sky (NTV) on 5/27 (Ise episode) and 6/3 (Izumo episode) for two consecutive weeks. In our previous interview Part 1, we talked about the trip to Izumo Taisha Shrine that had a great influence on her work.
In Part 2, we will introduce the deep connection between Ms. Komatsu and the land of Izumo, and also introduce the production of “Shin-Fudoki Part2” produced at the old folk house in Izumo, which is the highlight of TV program “Another Sky”. Furthermore, we will approach “Miwa Komatsu”as an artist, such as “prayer” which is the origin of her creation, the feelings put into her work, and live painting at Lazzaretto Vecchio which was a turning point.

An exclusive interview with Miwa Komatsu, a contemporary artist who is active on the world stage, Part 1.
Ms. Komatsu is going to be part of the TV program Another Sky (NTV) on 5/27 (Ise episode) and 6/3 (Izumo episode) for two consecutive weeks.
In the program, Ms. Komatsu visited Izumo, where she dedicated her work “Shin-Fudoki” in 2014, and produced “Shin-Fudoki Part2”, which will be premiered in the program.
Miwa Komatsu is always looking to the future. And I was happy to have her in an exclusive interview with HYAKKEI. Her experience of the appearance of the “pillar of light” a few years ago at Izumo Taisha had a great influence on her work. We will approach her deep relationship with Izumo Taisha, the production of new art in the land of Izumo, and the origin of prayer at the center of her work.
In Interview Part 1, I will talk about “Izumo Taisha with Miwa Komatsu” based on the shooting scenery of the TV program Another Sky. Ms. Komatsu, who is full of love for Izumo, talked about it in a very natural way.

The highlight of this TV program Another Sky is her first public painting produced in the same old folk house as her work “Shin-Fudoki” in 2014. I will tell you more about it in Interview Part 2.
