Do you like bronze bells ?
commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cat
Because Shō Taikyū (king, first Shō dynasty, quite like him) *loved* bronze bells. Like he ordered about 90% of the bronze bells of the Ryūkyū Kingdom. Probably each time he was bored he didn't browse Amazon, he browsed bronze-bells.com. Real problem of compulsive buying...

Ogiyaka

J'ai dit que j'allais laisser les historiens s'occuper du reste mais ils ont pas l'air d'être motivés, donc voici l'article sur Ogiyaka, reine de #Ryūkyū sur la #wikipédia en français.

fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogiyaka

Ogiyaka, on l'aime ou on la déteste, mais elle laisse difficilement indifférente. Mère dévouée et femme politique de génie ? Psychopathe mégalomane ? C'est comme vous le sentez. Perso, je pense que Sen'i a dû lui faire un truc vraiment terrible...

Combien de fois vais-je encore franchir le Rubicon et écrire des articles sur les femmes du Royaume de Ryūkyū avant la fin du mois de mars ?

Kikoe-ōgimi

J'ai vu passer que le mois de mars sur #wikipédia était dédié à la rédaction d'articles sur les femmes, donc j'ai écrit un article sur Kikoe-ōgimi :

C'est pas une femme, c'est vingt-et-une femmes, j'espère du coup avoir atteint le quota parce que c'est beaucoup plus fatigant de trouver des sources sur des personnages historiques que sur des sites archéologiques...

A book called "Tattoo Traditions in Asia" recently came out. 1 of the topics is the hajichi of the Ryukyu Islands. The author seems to have only spoken with a tattoo artist who's also not Ryukyuan. Discussing an Indigenous tattoo practice without involving any Indigenous people is bullshit.

trying to buckle up an article about kikoe-oogimi (chifi-ufujin-ganashi) for #wikipédia since march is dedicated to articles about women (chifi-ufujin is not one woman, they are 21 women so i should reach the quota and return to my writing about old stones. ungendered old stones) but the japanese article is a mess with no references and the english article does not help. now, i know a lot about chifi-ufujin, but in which of my hundreds of books did i read about her / them ? #okinawa #ryukyu

#nejame
oh, that's the first cultural lecture organized by ogimi !
it starts with salutations from diverse important people, they want ogimi's culture to reach everyone (yeah) so they started with nejame, because they also think it's quite an underrated gusuku.
goto is involved in the excavations since 2021.
he works on the whole #ryukyu archipelago ＋ taiwan and other neighbouring areas.
and he thinks nejame roxxes.

i will be live tooting the last (apparently, but we will be back 😁) meeting of the 「ryukyuan history as seen through funerary practices research group」, that will be a public meeting held at the prefectural museum starting at 13:30 today. i suppose we won't be able to discuss as much as generally, given the size of the room and the number of lay attendants but i swear it will nevertheless be terribly interesting.
hashtag #ryufun , mute it if you don't like tombs.

@archaeodons

poster of the meeting, with the photograph of a ryukyuan tomb on top and various informations about date and location. it's in colour (ok, mainly blue and blue…), that's where you see the money of the prefectural museum behind 😁 i'll detail the names of participants and communications titles when i'll be seated in the amphitheater.

It is also said that her third son, Ameku Aji, became the Lord of Hokuzan Gusuku, after having married Haneji Aji’s daughter.
It would mean that Majinigani was the mother of the next generation’s kings of Chuzan, Nanzan and Hokuzan. What a woman, she is the Alienor of Aquitaine of Ryūkyū.
There is sacred place related to Satto called ‘Kuganinā’ (the Golden Palace). This is supposedly the site of the house where Satto lived before he became king.

After the death of King Eiji, his sons kill each other to obtain the throne, until only the fourth one remains, who becomes King Tamagusuku. It is during this troubled period that Majinigani fled to Mashiki and became the wife of Okuma Ufuya. She is said to have given birth to a daughter (later Kikoeookimi [Highest priestess of the Ryūkyū Kingdom. It is not clear if the rank already existed at the time]) and a son (later King Satto).
