Around Okinawa Seiha Utaki: From sanctuary to marketplace: Wishes and the beauty of life in small shops

Walking the paths surrounding Sefuutake (Sefuutake) in Okinawa, you'll not only experience the tranquility of the sanctuary, but also be captivated by the charming little shops tucked away in the alleyways. Behind wooden doors and along stone walls, hand-dyed fabrics, ceramic pendants, and glass wind chimes hang, subtly exuding a sense of the land and life. These shops sell more than just souvenirs; they offer a lifestyle that connects with Sefuutake. Handwoven charms symbolize island prayers; Ryukyu glass cups reflect the colors of the sea and sky; and small ceramic lions protect travelers with their smiling faces. Purchasing these small items is like taking Sefuutake's blessings with you.
