Shui Gusuku, aka, Shuri Castle/Shurijo, was a valuable, historical symbol of Loochoo, our history,culture and identity. Itʻs been one year since the fire which destroyed the main buildings of Shui Gusuku and the reconstruction planning and work has begun. Although the Okinawa people and support for all over the world have contributed for teh rebuilding of Shui Gusuku, the Japanese government has taken charge. What kind of place will it be once its built? Why is it being rushed when traditional work would take longer and need more natural resources? Will this be just a structure to look real on the outside for the sake of tourists and picture taking? Just some things to think about for this very important symbol of Loochoo.
