The symbol of Okinawa and UNESCO’s world heritage site, Shuri Castle, was destroyed in a fire early morning of October 31, 2019. Just recently restored to its original state, the castle’s large parts were burnt down and damaged, including the main and seven other buildings.
Okinawa lost its symbol of the Ryukyu heritage and its citizen is disheartened by the incident. Many well wishes and encouragements, including the support for the rebuilding of the castle are coming in.
IT Innovation and Strategy Center Okinawa (ISCO) is organizing a fundraising for the recovery and reconstruction of Shuri Castle. All the proceeds from this fundraising will go to Okinawa Prefectural Government, which is responsible for the rebuilding project. The handling fees will be deducted from the proceeds of online payments such as credit card and PayPal.
We hope you join us in our mission to restore this world heritage and give us your support.
Many of the fine arts and artifacts from the Ryukyu Kingdom era were stored inside of the castle. The extent of the damage to those art pieces has not been reported yet. The assessment is expected to take time.
