The Sea Festival

Sunday, 16 September 2007

Spiritually, Okinawans believe that man and woman are tied eternally to the heavens and the sea. During ancient times priestesses would congregate naked during the conclusion of this festival. Though, today the priestesses are seen clothed before Ungami begins, and again when it concludes. The day starts very early as the women form in groups. Okinawa Prints Images from this collection are now available as fine art prints. Bring home a master crafted print of Okinawa. Custom order your prints of Okinawa through John in Japan.
