This book is for readers who want to understand Okinawa through lived experience rather than tourism or scientific analysis. It is for people who care about how a place can shape habits, values, and the rhythm of daily life. What follows are small moments and steady observations, and how they changed me.
It will also help karate students understand the cultural foundation beneath their training. It is for those interested in discipline, culture, and craft, and for anyone who believes that philosophy is something lived.
I wrote this book for my daughters to understand me, because some places and moments stay with you long after you leave them.

apt quotation..
“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” by Robert A. Heinlein (author, aeronautical engineer, and naval officer)
