Shuri Castle to Naha Port
Mitama means 'Pearl' it also means 'True Soul'. During the Ryukyu Kingdom Age, this was a very important official road from Naha Port to Shuri Castle. To reverse the history of the invasion by Satsuma Clan, used this path to take over the Shuri Castle and the Ryukyu Kingdom, a walk took place from Shuri Castle to Naha Port to sweep away the pain of war and to sweep in a peaceful and abundant age. This is our prayer to the world.
Earth Garden Peace Ceremony

Peace Prayer, Tree Planting, Earth Jump
'The Earth Garden' was once taken away by the US military, then Japanese Defence Force, until it then was returned to its owner several years ago. This is our symbol of hope. Here we held a peace prayer ceremony amd tree planting.
Sabani Peace 2009 with Seven Gods of Happiness
17:16: On the low tide the Peace Sabani left Naha Port - to transform this history of the invasion of 1609 which began when an armed ship arrived.
At Naha Port, the treasure ship sailed to a Shinto shrine with the Seven Gods of Happiness who brought happiness and prosperity to the land of Okinawa.
Crowds cheered the Sabani Sailors as they make their way up the Naha River and the river flowed with flower confetti.
