This is the part of the site where I put articles written about Okinawa.
It is divided into three areas.
- an introduction to Okinawa
- the 'base' problem
- culture
I am trying to include as much original work as I can. I have included interesting pieces found elsewhere and these are credited to the original author but otherwise all other articles are mine and please feel free to send comments by e-mail. I would be happy to include any relevant articles if you would like to contribute!
