EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a moment in time from the 1830s, depicting a Chinese soldier in the service of the Lew Chew (Loochoo, Ryukyu, Okinawa) chief, standing proudly before his leader. The Chinese soldier, dressed in traditional armor and armed with a shield and spear, embodies the strength and discipline of the Chinese military forces that were stationed in the Ryukyu Kingdom during this period. The Lew Chew chief, dressed in a grand turban and hat, exudes authority and wisdom. His bare feet and sandals signify his connection to the land and his people. The Chinese soldier and the Lew Chew chief's contrasting attire highlight the unique cultural exchange that took place between China and the Ryukyu Kingdom during the 1800s. The Ryukyu Kingdom, located in present-day Okinawa, Japan, was a vassal state of China from 1429 to 1879. During this time, Chinese influence on the island was significant, and Chinese soldiers were often deployed to maintain order and defend against external threats. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of cultural exchange and military cooperation between China and the Ryukyu Kingdom during the 1830s. The photograph's modern presentation allows us to appreciate the details of the soldiers' uniforms and the chief's regal attire, transporting us back in time to a fascinating era of East Asian history.
