One of the crafts that Okinawans are most noted for is pottery. Gorgeous. Some is ornamental. Lovely vases and wall hangings. Some is traditional, such as the many shi-sas. These front most homes on either side of the front entrance, and/or on the roofs of dwellings. Pottery is also made for practical purposes such as holding grains or as raised beds for planting-on a limited scale. It is also used for dinnerware, - plates, bowls, mugs, etc.
Another native craft is weaving and bingata weaving is a specialty of Okinawa.
