沖縄渡名喜島における言語文化の総合的研究　/ Okinawa Tonakijima ni okeru gengo, bunka no sogoteki kenkyu [= Researches on the language and culture of Tonakijima, Okinawa]

Tokyo: Hosei Daigaku, 1991. 8vo, pp. [4], 196, [2]; text in Japanese; illustrations throughout, including maps, elevations, floor plans, diagrams of joinery, etc.; glossy paper wrappers; ex-library with a few unobtrusive stamps, otherwise fine. Chapters are largely on the local architecture, with a few other articles on the local dialect, and city planning from a historical perspective. Tonaki Island is about 55 kilometers northwest of the main island of Okinawa with an area of about 3,800 square meters and a population under 300. Its relative remoteness and minimal development has helped it preserve Okinawan culture, making it an interesting target for research. Item #63748
