Another Okinawan Story

These two came out to have fun and it shows!

J admits that she wasn’t overjoyed at first moving to Okinawa, but the place has a way of growing on you and now she can’t imagine leaving any of this behind. So, we set out to do a session that would capture all the little things that made Okinawa home for them. We have a ferris wheel, vending machines, amusing signs, the seawall, and the huge jacks– all part of what they affectionately call “the concrete jungle.”

I had such a great time that morning. They were up for anything and everything. Thanks for coming out, you two. I hope you’re settling into your new place nicely. Best of luck to you!

Eisa & Obon

Another glimpse into life in Japan. This week is Obon in Okinawa. It’s a major holiday here to honor deceased ancestors. (Wikipedia can tell you more about Obon if you’re interested.) During these three days, Eisa drummers can be spotted around town performing impromptu shows in parking lots and on street corners. It’s quite a treat to look out your front door to find this:

Natsu Matsuri

It’s time for the Summer Festival again at preschool! This evening we watched the girls dance around, ate carnival food, and stayed for the pretty impressive fireworks display! It was a grand time. I mean really, can the yukata get any cuter???
