Taketomi Island is a small island of only 5 square kilometers with about 300 inhabitants in the Yaeyama Islands, now part of Okinawa Prefecture.
It's known mostly as a tourist destination for its traditional Ryukyuan village with stone walls, tile roofs, and water buffalo carts.
The shisa on Taketomi were funkier and more whimsical than those on the main island of Okinawa, reflecting a folksier culture.
