This is a gallery shop run by Ikema Mayuko, a calligrapher and bingata artist who runs an Okinawan restaurant with her husband. She creates a wide range of works, including title characters for television and movies, "Gofune-in" (a seal to commemorate boarding the Yaeyama Sightseeing Ferry), New Year's card designs, frames and murals. Each piece of art expresses Okinawa's flowers and is carefully crafted. The gallery is filled with colorful works, and in addition to displaying many original products such as T-shirts and postcards, you can also experience bingata photo frames (reservations required).
