Okinawa Prefecture of the Ryukyu Islands
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!

Surrounded
Location: Okinawan Coastline, Japan
This was a familiar sight as we flew over the Ryukyu Island of Okinawa. Islets are plentiful in these parts. They are tiny, uninhabitable islands with little vegetation and mostly made of rock.
Islands are often used as a metaphor for isolation. But like life, there is often more to the story than what we realize.
Though it is mostly out of view, there is a hint at the bottom that there is another landmass close by.
If you could view this from a different angle, you would see that it is accompanied by more than 160 small islands that form a chain…an archipelago.
It’s not, in fact, isolated but part of something much larger. The name of this piece is “Surrounded.”
What a great thought to remember…there is often more than meets the eye.
