Sakatta

Sakatta [さかった / Sunpaku: さかった] is a city located in northern Zōhai Prefecture. As of 2022, it has an estimated population of around 20,000. It is located on the upper northern coast of Zōhai. According to historical records, it was one of the first Summui settlements to be 'discovered' and visited by Chinese sailors in the 10th century.
Sakatta is a centre of production of traditional Summui pottery. Its economy also focuses heavily on light manufacturing and fishing; the city's main export is a special variety of high-quality caviar. Seasonal boating trips can be booked on the Sakatta coast, and local tourism is a considerable addition to the economy, as there are various shrines and historical ruins which can be explored around the city.
Sakatta is also known for its annual Sea Festival [muidoya in Sunpaku], which has taken place for over 400 years. This is a semi-religious celebration of the ocean and also of the city's history with fishing and marine activities. Often local priestesses (asha) are summoned to give thanks and blessings to the city overall, and afterwards boating races are held, along with live music performances and traditional dances. Mōfu Temple is an important cultural site in Sakatta which often attracts visitors.
