<p>[QUOTE=&quot;posnerfan_48, post: 7311694, member: 111645&quot;]I&#039;m glad you enjoyed the article! I&#039;m mostly interested in a specific period of history of the Ryukyu islands, before its conquest by the Satsuma. I did learn about the battle of Okinawa in school, and I grew up knowing that one of my childhood friend&#039;s grandfather was in the Pacific theater. My own great grandfather died resisting the Japanese invasion in northern China, at a very young age. As for something controversial and interesting about the American campaign in Okinawa you may want to read the last link I cited! </p><p><br /></p><p>I did not know that about Ryukyuan ceramics! That&#039;s very neat and thank you for bringing it to my attention. The Ryukyuan coinage gave me an itch to visit the Ryukyus myself. I hope that this age of peace lasts so that we may all enjoy the fruits and wonders of each other&#039;s cultures, without ever forgetting the sacrifice that was necessary to achieve this peace.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
