Individual Grading Standards (Ryukyu SAR Version)
Tourism and Cultural Presentation Model - Regional Version Emphasizing Display Suitability
Overview
A peripheral hub that foregrounds tourism revenue and "cultural staging."
The Ryukyu Special Administrative Zone is positioned as an evaluation base in the Greater China region specializing in tourism and cultural performances. Building on the common core basic standards, it adds unique evaluation items related to display suitability, such as visual proportionality and display durability. Feedback from tourist questionnaires is used as a correction factor for subsequent gradings, reflecting an operational focus on the visitor experience.
Operational Characteristics
-
Emphasis on Appearance and Experience
High emphasis is placed on display suitability, such as skin texture, ability to maintain posture, and visual balance.
-
Linked with Traditional Crafts and Performance Standards
Evaluates conformity with local cultural style standards for ropes, equipment, display stands, and similar elements.
-
Reflecting Visitor Feedback
Tourist questionnaires (regarding tactile and visual impressions) are used as correction values for the next grading.
Additional Evaluation Items (Ryukyu-Specific)
Visual Symmetry Score (VAS)
The Visual Alignment Score (VAS) is a Ryukyu-specific indicator that provides a comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s overall body balance, beauty of posture, and uniformity of skin tone. It quantifies visual impact during display and is used to determine suitability for tourism-related purposes.
Display Durability Index
Evaluates the ability to maintain quality during long-term display. Measures changes under lighting, temperature, and humidity conditions.
Display Suitability Tag System
In Ryukyu SAR, a "Display Suitability Tag" is assigned in addition to the regular grade.

|---|---|---|
| A3* | Display Suitable | For tourism display and cultural events |
| A3** | Display Excellent | For long-term display and premium events |
| A3† | Limited Display Suitable | Short-term display only, under specific conditions |
