Thank you for your continued consideration and support of the General Incorporated Association Bunkaju.
Based on our philosophy to “use education to help people inherit culture and create a society where they can forge their own future,” we are holding an “Okinawan Language Course” as a regular event based in Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture.
Shimakutuba is a vital language for passing on Okinawa’s history and culture to the future. However, unfortunately, the number of speakers in daily life has decreased, and UNESCO has designated it as an endangered language. We have launched our activities to overcome this crisis and pass Shimakutuba on to the next generation.
