Okinawa, Japan | A Surprising Discovery at a LEGO Store: Shisa Dog Building Blocks, Bring Your Guardian Deity Home Walking into a shopping mall in Okinawa, Japan, I expected the LEGO store to be the familiar world of building blocks: colorful blocks and classic character collections, dazzling the eyes of both young and old. Unexpectedly, what captivated me most wasn't the spectacular models on display, but the "Okinawa Exclusive Shisa Dog" building blocks quietly displayed in a corner. At that moment, a strange sense of contrast emerged in my mind. Shisa Dog, originally a stone guardian deity, crouched on rooftops or in courtyards, warding off wind and evil spirits with a majestic posture. Today, it has been transformed into a sculpture made of small building blocks, with a smiling expression, appearing both adorable and heartwarming.

Okinawa, Japan | Everyday Scenes in Shopping Malls: From Small Items to Clothes, Gentle Surprises Walking into an Okinawa shopping mall, you're struck not just by the dazzling array of stores but by a sense of "lifestyle." From small items embodying a tropical atmosphere to a fusion of fashionable and casual clothing, it's tempting to browse from shop to shop. In the handmade goods section, you'll often find designs incorporating Ryukyu cultural symbols: some inspired by Shisa dogs, others incorporating marine elements into accessories, and small ornaments crafted from indigo dye, shells, or pottery. These pieces aren't just souvenirs; they're like gentle touches that encapsulate the scenery of Okinawa and embellish everyday life.
