The purpose of this paper is to analyze, through concepts, such as memory, space and placeless which is coined by Edward Relph, the process of reconstruction of a community in the suburb of Naha City in Okinawa, where there are longtime residents and newcomers. At first, I will analyze on the community the effect of Azashi-making which means the residents compiling historical data into a book by themselves. Secondly, I will treat the young men's association. The association, which temporarily had suspended its activities, started again a few years ago. They revived an old custom, Eisa, which is the dance devoted to their ancestors. The revival involved both longtime residents and newcomers in the reconstruction of a community. They evoked the community's memories by Azashi-making and the revival of Eisa and began to have a special attachment to their community. Put simply, to reconstruct communities, they instilled their memory into the place which has been mixed by both longtime residents and newcomers.
