| In the 8th year of Showa era, some slate palettes where a thing like a sign and a character were engraved including an incused picture such as a ship, a farming tool like a natural rock board were found in Kadena-cho and Hokutan-cho. These slate palettes called the “Rosetta Stone of Okinawa” attracted the attention of people that they might be old characters in Ryukyu, but they haven't been deciphesed yet. However, Iha Fuyu called the father of Okinawalogy had already introduced a unique character remained at the “Soshi” which Yuta used in the One Theory Book of the “Old Ryukyu” “han unique character exists or not in Ryukyu?” that there was a description that ”here was a Character in Ryukyu before it existed in the world” in the “Ryukyu Shinto Religion Diary“ and the “Irosetsuden” in the end stage of Meiji Period long before this slate palette was found. Then, he wrote and left one sentence as follows. “When the epigraph such as a Rosetta Stone was found under the ground at Hiura Sobe in the future, the articles of the Ryukyu Shinto Religion Diary and Irosetsuden may be real, but as we say about various opinions of “with or without” of the character in the dynasty of gods today, it may turn into a wild goose chase “ Mr.Iha wrote this idea in the 37th year of Meiji era. In fact, this character turned out be a thing that they predicted that they could find some slate palettes continuously in the Showa Period. Including these, such as a character of the Soshi and Kaida character in Yonaguni, some peculiar characters have been handed down in Okinawa. | |
