The Kikaijima Island located in the east side of Amamioshama. At present, it is pant of Kagoshima-ken, but , it is in the cultural sphere of the Rykyu Kingdom, and there are many common points in the culture with Okinawa. In this island, the lost culture was left in Okinawa. It is a book called “Tokisoushi”, and the shaman called Yuta used it in fortune-telling, and a calendar and an outlook about the universe are written. But, in the 18th century, Yuta was oppressed because of confusing the people, or this Soushi was burnt down. After that, Iha-Fyu called the father of Okinawa logy raised a legend that “there was a character in Okinawa such as the “Ryukyuushidouki” before there were characters in the world. Moreover, from a record by Arai Hakuseki and a scholar in China, the history of the character goes back to the Gen period of the 14th century, they said.
