While offering a prayer for the restoration of Shuri Castle, which burnt down in October 2019, this performance looks at the connection between Ryukyuan performing arts and mainland Yamato performing arts. The work questions how these two strands of classical performing arts can survive in the modern world. The spirit of Tamagusuku Choukun, a Ryukyuan aristocrat-bureaucrat credited with the creation of the Ryukyuan dance-drama form known as kumi odori, appears in the castle rubble. He remembers bygone days, welcomes Chinese envoys from the Qing Dynasty, and relates how he was influenced by Noh and other genres to create the new performing artform of kumi odori. As the characters bid farewell to each other, they appeal for the restoration of Shuri Castle and pay tribute to the role of the arts in promoting exchange and interaction.
