The Tomb of Noguni Sokan

I was a little scared to be under trees and have the grass below. Some very starnge lizards, insects, birds and bats and possible snakes roaming the area.









Noguni Sokan is a hero to the Okinawans since he brought sweet potato to
the island from China and helped to prevent starvation in times of or typhoons because of its hardiness and resistance to harsh weather. He becme UMU-UFUSU guardian of the sweet potato.
