Okinawa brings together two collections of intertwined stories by the islands preeminent mangaka, Susumu Higa, which reflect on this difficult history and pull together traditional Okinawan spirituality, the modernday 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 presentday in Mabui (Okinawan for spirit"), where he explores how the American occupation has irreversibly changed the island prefecture, through the lens of the archipelagos indigenous spirituality and the central character of the yuta priestess.
