Okinawa Prefecture is home to 75% of all U.S. military base facilities in Japan. Susumu Higa weaves stories set in this island prefecture, exploring how the American occupation has irreversibly changed the land and its people through the lens of indigenous spirituality.

This collection of seven previously uncollected stories centers on the yuta priestess and the everyday lives of Okinawans. From military landowners to base employees, from a local policeman to a traveler named Jim Thomas, each tale reveals the complex relationship between the island's traditions and the foreign presence that shapes its present day.
