A postcard from Princess Nami arrived in mail today! Okay, not quite so, but it is from Okinawa, specifically from Expo 75 and the shooting location for Princess Nami’s vision and the fictitious Azumi Castle in Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla (1974). It is a postcard of Nakagusuku Castle (中城城, なかぐすく), “a gusuku in the village of Kitanakagusuku, Okinawa, Japan. It is one of a number of castles built on the island of Okinawa by the Ryukyu Kingdom now in ruins.”1
