Okinawa Zoo & Museum
蕙蕙质兰心蕙质兰心The Ryukyu Islanders in Okinawa are descendants of Polynesian immigrants and the original Japanese. Before the Southern Song Dynasty, they belonged to the Austronesian region of Kyushu, and later became independent as the Ryukyu Kingdom. During the Ming Dynasty of China, the ruler of the Ryukyu Islands was named the Ryukyu King, citing the old list of Taiwan, hundreds of years after the Ryukyu separated from the mainland of Kyushu. Due to the convenience of waterways, it is a trade hub for neighboring countries. By the end of the 19th century, the Ryukyu Kingdom had been recovered by the Satsuma Domain of Kagoshima. In 1879 after the Meiji Restoration, the Ryukyu Kingdom was incorporated into Japan, and Okinawa Prefecture was established in the same year. After World War II, it was occupied by the United States. In 1972, the United States returned the administrative power of the Ryukyu Islands to Japan.
