沖縄730　道の記録

Produced by Cinema Okinawa, Planning by Okinawa Prefectural Civil Engineering Department 1978, Color, 30 minutes 12 seconds Awards Selected by the Ministry of Education Okinawa's history can be divided into two important periods: the American Era (American Colonial Period) and the Yamato Era (Japanese Colonial Period). During the American Era, many changes were made under the influence of the U.S. military. Road construction, in particular, significantly transformed Okinawa's infrastructure and impacted its economy and society. After Okinawa's reversion to Japan, during the Yamato Era, Okinawa once again became part of Japan, and infrastructure development and economic development progressed rapidly. With changes in road transportation, the prefecture's residents were required to adapt to a new era. Okinawa's roads became an important element symbolizing the transition from the American Era to the Yamato Era, profoundly impacting the lives and culture of its residents. The history of Okinawa's roads has evolved alongside its topography, culture, and the changing times. The July 30th Change, in particular, was a major turning point for the prefecture's residents and became an important symbol of the transition from American colonial rule to Japanese reversion. Okinawa's roads continue to record this history to this day. Staff: Cinematography: Kamiji Kando, Director: Aikawa Naoto
