Early Naha was a bee-hive of activity with its markets, main streets, back streets and commercial enterprises. And the Okinawan's always showed "grace and courtesy" when doing business. Their children were my father's favorite photography subjects.

Many of my Dad's pictures and images were printed in his books in b&w during the 1950's. Those books are still available from second-hand book dealers today and in some cases, the books can be found in the "public domain".

Most of the color 16mm films were first transferred in the 1990's to VHS by my father before he passed away in 1999. But he was not trained in "digital editing" and his film materials were set aside for many years.

These 16mm digitized works were recently developed and are being made available to the public without "intense editing". This project is a "work-in-progress" and research comments, factual contributions, observations and music collaborations are all welcomed.
