The remote islands of Okinawa, Japan make up a large portion of the archipelago of the Ryūkyū Islands located in the Pacific Ocean and the East China Sea. Okinawa photography spots are not difficult to find. There are so many incredible places in Okinawa with dramatic clouds and stunning beaches in every direction that makes you feel like you're living in a dream. It's even called the "Hawaii of Japan." The pace of island life is pretty slow, allowing each day to unfold organically and creating an amazing space for creativity to thrive.

Many American military families stationed at Kadena Air Base, Camp Foster, Torii Station, Camp Kinser, & many other bases on the island have called Okinawa home over the years. If you are searching for Okinawa-inspired art and gifts, you’ve come to the right place!
