Requests:  0 Summary:  "A peaceful, independent kingdom until its annexation by the Japanese Empire in the 19th century, Okinawa was the site of the most destructive land battle of the Pacific War. Today, the archipelago is Japan's poorest prefecture and unwilling host to 75% of all US military bases in Japan. Okinawa brings together two collections of intertwined stories by the island's pre-eminent mangaka, Susumu Higa, which reflect on this difficult history and pull together traditional Okinawan spirituality, the modern-day realities of the continuing US military occupation, and the senselessness of the War. The first collection, Sword of Sand, is a ground level, unflinching look at the horrors of the Battle of Okinawa. Higa then turns an observant eye to the present-day in Mabui (Okinawan for "spirit"), where he explores how the American occupation has irreversibly changed the island prefecture, through the lens of the archipelago's indigenous spirituality and the central character of the yuta priestess."--Amazon.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Mililani Public Library YA -- Fiction Okinawa Manga Checked In   Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library YA -- Fiction Higa MG   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library YA -- Fiction Higa Graphic Checked out 06/30/2024 Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library YA -- Fiction Higa Manga Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library YA -- Fiction Higa Manga Checked out 06/13/2024 Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library YA -- Fiction Okinawa Graphic novels Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) Floating Collection Higa Manga   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library YA -- Fiction Higa Graphic Novel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: Prev 1 2
