Back of Perry Monument: This monument has been erected in honor of COMMODORE PERRY who on June 6, 1853 landed near this place.The lower plaque is inscribed with Perry's quote when he visited Shuri Castle:

MAY THEY AND THE AMERICANS ALWAYS BE
FRIENDS.

HIS HONOR (THE ROYAL GUEST
HOUSE) SHURI, OKINAWA, JUNE 6, 1853Jan 14, 2022

About a month later, he and his Black Ships shocked mainland Japan off Uraga in Kanagawa Prefecture. In the following year, after the U.S.-Japan Treaty of Peace and Amity was signed in Yokohama, Perry visited Naha again and signed the Ryukyu-U.S. Treaty of Amity on July 11, 1854. ペリー提督上陸記念碑Jan 14, 2022

William Board, a sailor from Commodore Perry's crew, is also buried here after he was caught assaulting a local female and was stoned by villagers in 1854. He was drunk and fell into the water and drowned.This occurred while Perry went to Uraga. He had left a few crew in Naha, to be picked up on his return trip. A trial was held for the men who stoned Board. They were punished by being exiled to remote islands including Yaeyama. There's a small gravestone for Board in the cemetery.Jan 14, 2022

The sanshin is a modest instrument, used to complement the singing. Okinawan folk songs focus on the singing, not the instruments. This is opposite from the Tsugaru-jamisen (shamisen) in Aomori Prefecture which uses the showy jamisen as the main focus with long jamisen instrumentals.Mar 29, 2021
