The myth from the botom of the sea

We think everything in the world was born from the sea.
“Okinawa is an island surrounded by the sea, and Yanbaru is an area in the mountains.
Creatures born, forgotten events, truths, and untruths, stories heard from someone, everything is born from the sea, grows up in the mountains, and goes back to the sea.
Japan is an island, and Taiwan is an island. We may fantasize about the vast ocean, and our own myths may be born and nurtured.
Yanbaru Sake Brewery has provided a wall, and we will create a mural."
