Yaeyama Islands, Ryukyu kingdom (1429–1879) by wawa_ryuq

Author uthor comments (translated from Japanese):

The history and culture of the Ryukyu Kingdom cannot be discussed only in terms of Okinawa Island, so here is clothing from the Yaeyama Islands, which have a slightly different culture to Okinawa (assuming late 1800s). She is wearing a sudina (vest, similar to the dujin) and a kakan (skirt). The length is unique and cute. You might think this is special clothing, but you can see people doing normal work (babysitting, washing clothes, making tribute cloth) wearing this outfit. However, not everyone wears sudina and kakan; many wear the same bashofu outfit as on Okinawa. Maybe it's a difference of status or position..?
