Following the October 10, 1944 air raid (known as the 10/10 air raid in Okinawa), the Fukuji family evacuated to [[Kumamoto prefecture]], and then relocated to [[Tokyo]], taking much of the family's treasures with them. This collection of documents and textiles evocative of the life and history of Naha elites was thus able to survive the war. In 2007, Fukuji Ijirô, a son of those who fled Okinawa during the war, donated much of these family treasures to the [[Naha City Museum of History]].<ref>"[http://ryukyushimpo.jp/news/storyid-20731-storytopic-6.html 福地家資料那覇市に 貴重な染織品など９７点]," Ryukyu Shimpo, 25 Jan 2007.</ref>
