The article deals with the death rites, ancestor worship, and concept of deities found in the Ryukyus, as well as with the recent (mainly twentieth-century) discourse on postmortem ritual deification in the Ryukyus, where the newly dead are elevated to the status of ancestors and deities. It also reexamines investigations into the nature of these ancestral deities.
