Cooking pot with pointed bottom of the Ōyama pottery type, from the #Kaizuka Period, found on Ōyama Shell Mound in #Ginowan City, as displayed in Ginowan City Museum, that is still free.
Ōyama type is from the Early Kaizuka Period, Phase IV, and archaeologists in #Okinawa quite like it because it is very easily recognisable with its little squared patterns below the lip.

Pot à cuire à fond pointu en céramique de la période #Kaizuka de type Ōyama, trouvé sur le site de l'amas coquillier d'Ōyama dans la ville de #Ginowan, présenté au musée de la ville de Ginowan, qui est toujours gratuit.
Le type Ōyama date du Kaizuka Ancien Phase IV, et est assez adoré des archéologues sur #Okinawa car super reconnaissable avec ses petits motifs carrés sur le bord.

Note the number of arrowheads (arrowheads are quite rare on Okinawan sites, even on very large sites we generally find one or two at most, if any).

Thirty years after Tokyo and Washington agreed on a handover, Japan takes the fact that the site of the U.S. Futenma base in Okinawa Prefecture has yet to be returned to Japan "seriously." https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/04/10/japan/futenma-base-handover-delay/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #us #usjapanrelations #okinawa #defense #minorukihara #usmilitary #futenma #ginowan

it's #namie 's day again. i saw several persons with t-shirts at the commercial centre that is next to her last concert venue this morning. the city of #ginowan said they would not organise any commemoration anymore though so i suppose the fans pay themselves for the fireworks that are fired right now… that's 25 minutes of fireworks and counting, the namie love is strong 😁#安室奈美恵

Before I go back digging holes in the island tomorrow (in fact cleaning a castle wall this time, you can't always dig holes all over the place... 😁) , I translated my Oroku-baka tomb article for the english #Wikipedia :

Atsushi Sakima, a candidate backed by the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner, has won the mayoral election in Ginowan, Okinawa Prefecture. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/09/09/japan/politics/ginowan-mayor-election/ #japan #politics #okinawa #ginowan #usbases

hmm, there are mayoral elections here in #ginowan and the car of one of the candidates just passed in the street yelling that 「to fight climate change, we will install air conditionning in every school」

The central government has given the green light to a modified landfill plan for the relocation of the U.S. Futenma base in Okinawa despite the opposition of the prefecture. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/12/28/japan/japan-government-override-okinawa-objection/?utm_content=buffer1be83&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #japan #usbases #henoko #okinawa #ginowan #futenma #localgovernment #usjapanrelations

Land minister Tetsuo Saito said that the government will approve a design change for a U.S. base relocation project in the Henoko coastal area of Okinawa Prefecture by proxy on behalf of the prefectural government. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/12/27/japan/govt-proxy-execution-henoko-base/?utm_content=buffer14b9a&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #japan #usbases #henoko #okinawa #japanesecourts #ginowan #futenma

"Karen" Taiwanese restaurant in #ginowan is one of my favorite places to eat anywhere. They moved to a larger, better location earlier this year, but you may still need to wait during busy hours.

If you find yourself in #okinawa this is a good place to visit.

Two-year inspection of our #Okinawa apartment. Got a couple minor issues fixed (broken screen door lock, loose edge of the toilet water tray), but overall it's all good. Moving here to #Ginowan has been a great experience so far.

A family enjoying a day of fishing in #Ginowan, #Okinawa .

Our whole area in #Ginowan just lost power due to the #Typhoon hitting #Okinawa right now.

Fortunately we have an electric car (a #Leaf ) so if necessary I can at least keep the phone charged just about indefinitely.

#Kasthamandap finally opened their new branch in #ginowan !
