56 Shisa

Cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Kanto,
In Okinawa, Ipe is in full bloom (・∇・)ノ

The contrast between the spring sky and the yellow flowers is nice.

It's almost April 4rd (Shisa's Day),
Today I would like to talk about Shisa!

...By the way, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Up to the northern aquarium on your trip to Okinawa
I think that there are many people who carry their feet,
that road,
Have you ever seen a building like this?

This is the Nago City Hall (・∇・)ノ

If you look closely at the photo above, you can see Shisa everywhere.
It is placed.

The number of Shisa placed in Nago City Hall
There are 56 bodies and 55 villages plus 1 for the city hall,
The story that there are 56 is famous.

Where there are 55 Shisa in one building,
I've never heard of it before (^^)

In Yomitan Village,
There is a famous Shisa at Cape Zanpa,
Although this is one body,
If this size
From various disasters coming from the west coast, even one body,
Yomitan village, no, the whole of Okinawa
I feel like it will protect me (^^)♪

    Hello, my name is Miki Koiso.
    I saw the Nago City Hall on the way to the headquarters, but I was surprised.I wanted to stop by if I had time.
    At the entrance of the house, two sets of Shisa greet you, and there are six sets in the house.2 sets including awamori.It feels like my late mother bought something because she liked Shisa.Even when her mother was in the hospital, she kept Shisa by her bed.She had a lively conversation with the nurses and patients in the same room who saw it.
    Oh, or it's zuku.There was mozuku from Miyako at the supermarket I always go to.What I always buy is the display made in Okinawa.The price was 100 yen higher than usual, but I bought it.I love Miyako too, so I can't help it!!A customer who came from Okinawa checked out yesterday. I stayed XNUMX nights.I feel relieved while talking.Ah ~ Okinawa is good!!

    Hello! !

    It's a relief to think that Shisa is in charge of each village and protects them, and at the same time it's a pride of Nago.
    By the way, does the Shisa have the name of the village that he is in charge of?

    The origin of my humming shisa is the image of a parent and child shisa singing happily while being caught in the south wind o(*⌒―⌒*)o

    Hi Yokoda,
    The story of Shisa at Nago City Hall is very nice!I have heard that this government building has an energy-saving structure and did not initially have an air conditioner installed.
    I envy the people of Nago City, who have built an eco-conscious living environment, starting with the government building, which is their symbol mark.

    Hello Humming Shisa,
    It's nice to have Shisa as many as the number of villages (^ ^)
    If the Shisa who is in charge of my village has a name, I feel more familiar (*^∇^*)
    I thought "Humming Shisa" had a wonderful sound♪
    When I heard the origin, I could clearly see the picture!The house protected by Humming Shisa is said to bring a lot of good luck♪

    Hi,
    Nago City Hall has an impact on its appearance, which does not look like a city hall (^ ^)
    At the time it was built, it must have been a more conspicuous building than it is now!

    There are a lot of Shisa at Koiso's house (^∇^)
    As an Uchinanchu, I'm happy to be able to talk with various people at Shisa♪

    Okinawa is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and it looks like we will be able to get a lot of delicious mozuku and seaweed this year as well.
    From now on, I think that Okinawan ingredients such as various seafood will be available, so I would be happy if you could enjoy the taste of Okinawa again and remember your trip to Okinawa (*^^*)

    Hi,
    That's right!I think the Nago City Hall had a very unusual appearance at the time it was built (it is still rare today), but I also like the fact that the structure has a proper meaning!
    I think it's a wonderful building that is strong enough to withstand typhoon winds, and that it's easy to spend even in the summer considering the tropical climate of Okinawa.

    April has just started, but today the temperature has risen to 4 degrees!
    As summer approaches, the number of days that feel "hot" will increase.
