Description

Book Synopsis
Conventional portrayals of early Ryukyu are based on official histories written between 1650 and 1750. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Gregory Smits makes use of scholarship in archaeology and anthropology and leverages unconventional sources such as the Omoro sshi (ancient songs) to present a fundamental rethinking of early Ryukyu.
