October 11-15 - Sacred Run 2006 in Okinawa, Japan
Okinawa is a small island (actually it has a main island and many small islands), located in the most southern part of Japan. Some people may know the name, because Okinawa was governed by the U.S. from 1945 after World War II until May 15, 1972. During World War II, Okinawa suffered a lot. About 300,000 people (including soldiers and non-combatants) were killed on this small island. Some non-combatants were forced to kill themselves by the Japanese army.
Once Ryukyu (former name of Okinawa) was an independent Kingdom. But in the 1890's Japan took power. Now Okinawa is some kind of melting pot. It combines traditional culture, Japanese culture, American culture (you can find A&W Root Beer only here in Japan), and Chinese culture. Okinawa has been influenced by China also, and is very close to China. That's one of the most important reasons why the U.S. military is still here. In this sense, Okinawa is a sort of crossroad.
Okinawa is surrounded by a beautiful ocean, and we have natural wild forests too, but it is being polluted and built up day by day. We want many people to come and visit our sacred sites (including sacred groves, springs, beautiful sea, caves, energy spots), and feel their spirits. We are sure Okinawa will be a very important place for the development of World Peace.
We welcome you all to our beautiful island, and we hope you will have splendid experiences in Okinawa. Thank you.
