Based on the observation of the Ryukyu ethnic group during the World WarⅡand the need for post-war military occupation,the United States formulated the rule of“pro-U.S.and separating from the Japan,strengthening the initiative of natives.”1 in the early days of the occupation of Ryukyu.In the field of culture,the United States has carried out activities such as the compilation of post-war textbooks,attempts to restore native language,protection of traditional art and historical sites,and they also revived the traditional culture of Ryukyu.Since then,due to the transformation of the U.S.Asia-Pacific strategy,the U.S.’s traditional culture policy for Ryukyu has gradually changed to allow Japanese culture to re-enter Ryukyu.The Ryukyu traditional cultural rejuvenation policy in the early postwar period led to the development and strengthening of the community awareness of the Ryukyu community,which had disappeared and been suppressed for a long time.
