"Shuri Shisa" In the summer of 2015, Alan Christy took a group of student researchers to Okinawa, partly with the goal of identifying places where Gail took photos. After spotting the shisa from Gail's photo in a pamphlet entitled Cultural Assets of the Ryukyus, student researchers followed the lead when they actually arrived in Okinawa, where they happened upon the actual statues, now prominently displayed at the Tamaudun Royal Masoleum, adjacent to Shuri Castle.
