In Kitanakagusuku-sonji Ogido is a surreal national history memorial site. In ancient times, the people would waste all their useless stuff by throwing it off the cliff. And so did the people before. As time went on a huge heap of seashells piled up under the cliff and was located by archaeologists decades ago. The ancient shells were brought to a museum. Even though it is an important memorial site, tourists wouldn't be led directly to the cliff, but a benchmark was set up in the near village. For the inhabitants don't know or don't care about the historical site, they continue to throw waste off the cliff. And so a contemporary pile of waste mixed with some of the ancient left. We want to re-excavate the waste under the cliff and exhibit inside the near village what we found.
