Another thread for the #Ryukyu Heritage Days ! #JEP2023 #EHD2023 @archaeodons Girimui is located on the hill just next to Shimashii Ufuzatu Gusuku. It was the gusuku of the person who ruled over the area before Shimashii Ufuzatu Aji, named Tamamura Aji. He first lived there and then built Shimashii Ufuzatu Gusuku. He was overthrown by Ōeiji, one of the kings of the Nanzan Kingdom and the dynasty started to live in Shimashii Ufuzatu.

Large view of the square with the three shrines (only two visible on the photograph). The hi-nu-kan shrine is on the left of the photograph, and Usachiyu's shrine on the right. There is a cliff behind the hi-nu-kan shrine, and a hill behind the Usachiyu's one, with a lot of trees around.
Photograph of the Tamamura Utūshi composed of two limestone pillars capped with a concrete slab that probably replaces a lost limestone slab. The incense burner is of a quite unusual type, being a stone pot. The hill behind is covered with vegetation and the square in front is paved with cement.
Photograph of the hi-nu-kan shrine, which is a squared cavity inside the raw limestone bedrock wall. There is an incense burner inside the cavity.
