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.

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
Japan takes U.S. Futenma base's delayed relocation 'seriously'

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 :
