History of the Ryukyu Islands

This article is about the history of the Ryukyu Islands southwest of the main islands of Japan.
==Etymology==
The name "Ryūkyū" originates from Chinese writings, while "Okinawa" (Okinawan: Uchinaa) was coined in Okinawa.〔''Minamijima Fudoki'' Chimei-gaisetsu Okinawa, Higashionna Kanjun, p.16 in Japanese〕〔''The transition of Okinawa and Ryukyu'' Ryukyu-Shimpo-Sha, 2007, in Japanese〕 The earliest references to "Ryūkyū" write the name as 琉虬 () in the Chinese history ''Book of Sui'' in 607. It is a descriptive name, meaning "glazed horn-dragon".
The origin of the term "Okinawa" remains unclear, though there was a divine woman named "Uchinaa" in the book ''Omoro Soshi'', a compilation of ancient poems and songs from Okinawa Island. This suggests the presence of a divine place named Okinawa. The Chinese monk Jianzhen, who traveled to Japan in the mid-8th century CE to promote Buddhism, wrote of Okinawa as 阿児奈波 (). The current Chinese characters (kanji) for Okinawa (沖縄) were first written in 1719 by Arai Hakuseki, a Japanese scholar, in the book ''Record of Southern Islands''.
