Geography

From northeast to southwest, it is a long, narrow and flat island at its highest point. A refugee shelter is set up at the top of the sea level (21.35 meters) to accommodate 300 people in case of a future tsunami. The earth is red soil, called an ass merge, which is poor for water conservation. There is no swamp, and the source of the water is dependent on Iihar's car, which stores rain and springwater. Along the coast is a coral reef lake. There's a Uganrock off the coast of about two and a half miles northeast.

History

During the kingdom of XXQ12X, the king used to pray with him. From Honjima later on, to Kudaka Island, the form of worship of XXQ122X, and from 1673 to 1673, the king's deputy official began to worship him. For modern and modern times, it is known as the source of the geyser, and it is also described as "the virtue of the Kudaka Island." On January 7, 1945, the order was issued to evacuate Japan's army and to enter a community of GXQ12Xs. That is why many residents have died of starvation, in camps, and malaria all over the place, and the Okinawan war victims are 13 men, 24 women, and 64 children. The island was allowed back in May 1946. At the time of the administration's operations in Iseshima Village, Japan (in 2008) In November of 2021, large quantities of pumice from the eruption of Fukuoka area moved to Okinawa waters. The ferry connecting the XQ122X to the XXQ2X has been affected. On July 12th, 2023 (Declaration 5) Based on important local and local research methods, a section of Kudaka Island was designated as the area of view and was taken from August 15th.

Social

There is only one ground-keeping system left of the Cypriot dynasty, to be registered by the name of a local community, except for public property and power company property. When you build a house, with permission from the General Commission, you usually use the land as your home or field, but when you leave the island you return it to writing. Because of the rise in plans for resort development, which makes up about two-thirds of the island, it was cultured in 1988 as "Kudaka Island Securities Act." The resort project has disappeared, the island has little tourist development, and the community has a traditional quiet atmosphere. Since there are no signs to go around the sacred sites that are to be described, it is difficult to find them without detailed maps or local information.

Culture

Amateikuyo, the god of Nino, came down from heaven and started building his country on this island. It's the island of the Sequoia. In the days of the XXQ29X, the highest sacred place in the kingdom of XQ2X was considered the largest collection of XXQ122X psychic powers. At the northern tip of the island, Kabert is the land where the original god Amikiyo is said to have fallen, and is the holy place where the sea god has come down in the form of a white horse. Kudaka Island offers the spiritual culture of the mother's principle of the protection of women, such as inheriting the institution and performing the annual celebration of the Seyyhu. It is an important democratic island. For six days from November 15, 12 years old, women between the ages of 30 and 41 on the island are made up of rituals for the position of Nanchu. That would be recognized as a woman, and would give her divine power to protect her family. However, after having done it in 1978 because of the shortage of successors, it has not been done in 1990, 2002 and 2014. Kudaka Island is a holy place that leads to the alien Nilaacany on the other side of the sea, and it is said that the grain was brought from Nilaicanica. According to the book From the Republic of China in 1713 (Iseshiki, on the east coast of the island) it says that there were five seeds in a pot that had arrived on the beach, and it is believed that it was the site of the birth of the Five Kingdoms. The island tradition says that it was not a pot that came to us but a pot that was picked up by a couple named Akasumi and Shiri. There's also a ceremony at the end of the year to pick up three stones on the beach for each boy, put them at home as a charm, and put them back on the beach at the end of the year. Many annual festivals, such as the Festival of Yogi, which was held during the Yugosuke period, are still held throughout the year. Between the Middle Ages and the Middle Ages, the Kunichi people went to the Isle Islands to make local wives, so the history of communication with Miho is old. In one region of Tsukumi, the word "snake" meaning the Kusakamen was sometimes used to refer to the entire Okinawan inhabitants around Kudaka Island. The site where the funeral was once done, as well as a local dialectal burial song. In 1966, when he was interviewing in Izayo, an artist, Kotaro Okamoto, during the festival, entered a male-in-law Kboo, went into the grave, took a picture of the grave, and put his picture in the "week morning" magazine. This isn't a direct cause, but today there's no cadaver burial in Kudaka Island. According to the book The Okinawan Culturalism, by Taro Okamoto, who was led to the son of Takanoro in 1959, he said, "This was once banned as a man. I'm writing one. I went to Kubo's and took pictures during my second visit in 1966. I went to see the newspaper reporters who came from their husband, and I took pictures of the grave here. For the first time, the film's film, Kunihito Okamoto's Kudaka Island photo shoot, and the details of it, are presented with the truth of the story, including interviews by those involved.
