{"product_id":"ft580-omiyage-keychain-from-okinawa-沖縄","title":"FT580 - Omiyage Keychain from Okinawa 沖縄","description":"\u003cp\u003eA charming vintage Ryukyu doll (琉球人形) keychain from Okinawa (沖縄), inspired by the distinctive culture of the former Ryukyu Kingdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe red characters 「琉球」 (Ryūkyū) identify the cultural origin of the piece. Ryūkyū refers to the historic Ryukyu Kingdom, which flourished in the Okinawan Islands for several centuries before Okinawa became part of modern Japan. Situated between Japan, China, and Southeast Asia, the kingdom developed a distinctive culture shaped by centuries of maritime trade and cultural exchange. Traditional costume, dance, music, lacquerware, pottery, and brightly coloured textiles remain important symbols of Okinawan identity today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall regional charms such as this were commonly produced as omiyage (お土産)—souvenirs brought home from travels within Japan. Rather than simply serving as a keychain, this miniature figure captures the strong regional identity of Okinawa and the nostalgic appeal of Japan's vintage domestic tourism culture.\u003cbr\u003eWith its visible hand-painted details and naturally aged surface, each small imperfection adds to its wabi-sabi character and reflects the history of an object that has survived from another era. A lovely little collectible for enthusiasts of Japanese folk crafts, Okinawan culture, vintage omiyage, and regional Japanese dolls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 2 x 2 x 3cm\u003cbr\u003e10cm long\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58595479978315,"sku":"FT580","price":6.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/Cover_7ae2e979-6129-4b2b-a342-e898005cf9ac.jpg?v=1790333116","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/de\/products\/ft580-omiyage-keychain-from-okinawa-%e6%b2%96%e7%b8%84","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
