Okinawa Artifacts

Photography by Ken Sakamoto, Star-Bulletin

Above, rocks from various cities, towns and villages in
Okinawa are on display at the Hawaii Okinawa Center in
Waipio Gentry. The center's library has historical and
cultural materials on Okinawa and Okinawans. Below,
Volunteer Doris Murai stands behind a model of a
backstrap loom or jibata. This type of loom
is still used on Okinawa today.
