Ugui (portrait)
text:
Ugui are posthumous Okinawan portraits. Although it is unknown when the tradition of portraiture first began in the area, Ryukyu developed a unique style during the 15th-19th centuries. Ugui were all painted in similar style; they all place the king in the center surrounded by high officials and other retainers, with the king much larger than the others to emphasize his power and authority. In the past the portraits were painted directly onto the walls of the Enkaku-ji Buddhist Temple in Okinawa
