沖縄県南城市伝統工芸体験VR / Nanjo City, Okinawa – Immersive Traditional Craft VR Experience

「沖縄県南城市伝統工芸体験VR」では、シーサー作り職人やバーキ（竹かご）作り職人の手元作業を、自分が作業しているかのような主観視点(POV目線)で体験できる。独特な道具を要所要所で使いながら、素手で土をこねてシーサーを作っていく過程を間近で見る貴重な機会です。バーキは、沖縄で古くから使われてきたホウライチクで編む伝統的な竹かごで、農作物や魚、小物を運ぶ生活必需品でした。網目の1つ1つを丁寧に編み込んでいく細かい作業を目の当たりにすれば、思わず『すごい』という一言が漏れるだろう。

In the “Okinawa Prefecture Nanjo City Traditional Craft Experience VR,” visitors can experience the handwork of Shisa figurine artisans and Bāki (traditional bamboo basket) makers from a first-person (POV) perspective, as if they were performing the craft themselves.
This immersive experience offers a rare opportunity to closely observe the process of creating a Shisa—kneading clay with bare hands while skillfully using distinctive traditional tools at key stages of the work.
The Bāki is a traditional bamboo basket woven from Hōraichiku bamboo, which has long been used in Okinawa as an essential everyday item for carrying agricultural products, fish, and small personal goods. Watching the artisan carefully weave each individual strand, one by one, reveals the remarkable precision and craftsmanship involved—an experience so impressive that it naturally draws an audible “Wow.”
