…know for sure if they're really inside.
the plan, with double doors, if very peculiar, there is no other gusuku like that. but ! we haven't found the gates yet ! maybe they are not double at all !
why do peaceful jomon people lived in high places if they did not fortified them because they were peaceful ? the environment is very rich there.
and that's the end of this conf !
people, go and see nan-gushiku ! or any other gusuku during this three-day week-end !

ah, he said 「jomon」instead of 「kaizuka」and a japanese person asks him about the existence of jomon pottery and dogus in okinawa. well, he dug his own hole, should have used kaizuka.
the location of the gusuku is very nice for a fortress.
another person who asks if madama-michi has been cleared because 40 years ago you couldn't walk it. what the hell are those questions ?
nowadays, there are houses all around, are they in the gusuku ? just a little
bit of them but no survey so we don't

…to be somewhere there.
artefacts, celadon, porcelain, old coins, all is very small sherds-fragments.
and kaizuka pottery ! first ever kaizuka period site in tomigusuku !
(they have found another since)
conclusion : it's in very bad state, but it's still
here, they need to dig more than small test pits.
also yeah kaizuka
period, too.
they only explored 10% of the scope of the gusuku. they haven't found the wall of the second enclosure yet.
questions ! for miyagi ?

…i'm bad at heisei, it's not old enough, ask the internet.
they found stone walls, but just the very bottom (two or even one course
only) so they don't know if it's opus incertum or not.
they have quite a lot of postholes that predate the stone walls, but that's just test excavations, 50 cm wide trenches…
oh, stairs ! stone stairs ! nice !
artefacts : celadon, in the stone walls. huh, he doesn't say how old the celadon is…
and, hey, cut stones ! maybe for the gate that is supposed …

they also but air-raid shelter tunnels all over the place…
built by maybe the brother or nephew of one of the kings of nanzan in the 14-15th c.
described by perry when he came to ryukyu, quite well preserved, they made drawings of the ruins.
the walls are said to have been in opus incertum (no-zura-tsumi)
i like the plan of tomigusuku gusuku, it has three enclosures but only one back wall for the three.
they plan to restaure the stone walls, they excavate since heisei 26…

this is why we dug in the first place, the road has been partly built but now, the locals start to say they don't want it anymore and would rather keep the gusuku instead.
we go to tomigusuku. ah, ryoma miyagi has a cold so daiki kuba came to talk in his place 😁
he says he will talk but if we have any question, we have to ask miyagi.
tomigusuku gusuku is at the border with naha, along noha-gawa river.
during the war, the japanese forces took the stones of the walls to make an airfield.

#okimyu conclusion, people, you all come to nago for the cherry blossoms in january, come and see the gusuku too !
questions : the earthen gusukus are far more numerous in yanbaru, is it cultural ? well, where there is limestone, they make stone walls. for instance nakijin or nejame, so more than cultural choice, that's really adaptation.
korean castles are said to look alike, is it true ? he doesn't know.
kayo gusuku is supposed to be destroyed by a road, is it still the case ?

#okimyu they found beads that are probably for noro's personal ornaments. i found such beads in nakagusuku udun, the house of the king's eldest son ! and still not famous…
they found paths too.
so, large, smithy, noro beads and the modification of a whole hill to make a fortress.
artefacts 13-15th c. which is the same period as the stone gusukus of the south. it is an adaptation to the geology.
they have a lot in amami too.
in kyushu, they have some too, but they are younger : 14th -16th c.

#okimyu in conclusion, nan-gushiku is great.
kayo gusuku, on the other side of nago, very recent surveys.
you can see ikei island from there, nice location.
hundreds of postholes, all over the place, they cut the bedrock to make enclosures. they dug the bedrock to build buildings. and yet. not famous.
they have a smithy ! that's a proper gusuku if you have a smithy !
(the emphasis on 「why the hell are they not famous」is half me half yokote, that's not just me)

nan-gushiku has huge ditches, artefacts from the 13 to 18th c. celadon from korea ! aha, nobody else has korean celadon, yes ? and still not famous.
very nice luxury celadon only found in shuri or nakijin.
korean rooftiles ! like urasoe ! urasoe is famous for those tiles ! but not nago…
when king sho shin obliges all the warlords to come to shuri to keep an eye on them, the people who worked in nan-gushiku get out and create all the villages around.

and we go to yanbaru to visit the earthen gusukus. like nan-gushiku or kayo gusuku in nago. earthen gusukus have been theorised by shiichi toma (mister gusuku) years ago, and they've been found mainly in the northern part of the ryukyu (yanbaru+amami)
currently we have
116of them, and they are still not as famous as the stone ones, that's unfair.
nan-gushiku (=nago gusuku)appears on a 1471map. it is super large 128000m2, almost like nakijin or other large gusukus. and still. not famous.

we have a break and can you believe i have absolutely no app on this phone that will allow me to hand write an ugly sketch of a 14th c. gusuku wall ?

here, another specialist speaks to say the closest places are in the northern amami islands.
question about the name of the site : was it sacred at the time. we don't have any sign of ritual practices for the gusuku period. well, you have bronze miror fragments, that's nice, no ?
question about the presence of a smithy in a place that is not a gusuku fortress. there are indeed many gusukus with smithies. the interesting point is that this smithy predates the construction
of gusukus

conclusion, we'll have to re-write all the history books. again 😁
the smithy is still used at the gusuku period though, maybe an addendum.
this ends the comm, questions.
there is no iron in okinawa, where does the iron come from ? they haven't made analysis so they don't know. people, give money to yomitan for analyses, please.
another question by people who says there used to be iron in okinawa. that's geologically extremely unprobable. the quantities are ridiculously low.

…invaders could enter.
they have a smithy too, really, a school-case gusuku period site.
walled hearth, scories, tuyeres (yeah, i know that's french, bear with me) and bits of iron things too rusted to identify. also a stone used to hit the iron, whetstones, and bits of bronze mirors that are probably not directly related to the smithy but are here nevertheless.
an anvil ! that's an anvil, the stone to hit iron…
the smithy is very old. possibly predates gusuku period, whohoo

#okimyu one of the building is particularly large, there is one place where a building has been built twice, with a slight twist in its main axis.
they have a lot of grouped buildings, mainly big postholes, squared, maybe reconstruction of the same building just a little bit on a different place each time.she doesn't say it but they're interpreted as granaries.
they also have stone walls, big raw blocks, no cut stones, very nice wall, thick and all, at the only place where …

i think i should say that agari-nu-ugan means 「the eastern praying site」

they found postholes, aligned, making building plans, or long palissades (is this an english word ? wooden wall of posts)
most of the palissades follow the slope lines (hell, my english is running away, please, understand me.) there are quite a number of them → possible it was a completely fortified site.
there is a hole full of ashes and charcoal, with celadon skerds, they think it is a beacon.
