Kinzaiku

During the Ryukyu Kingdom era (1429-1879), many goldsmiths established their workshops near the Shureimon gate of the Shuri castle, where they were called kanzēku. Today, traditional goldsmithing items such as jīfā (Japanese hairpins), musubi yubiwa and fusa yubiwa (types of rings) have been passed down and are still being actively crafted.
