Okinawa's culture is distinct from mainland Japan, shaped by its history as the independent Ryukyu Kingdom. The islands blend Japanese, Chinese, and Southeast Asian influences in language, food, and traditions. Known for longevity, Okinawans maintain strong community bonds and a relaxed lifestyle.

Kaii Higashiyama (1908–1999) graduated from the Tokyo School of Fine Arts before studying in Germany. During this early period his paintings were frequently shown at the Kanten (Japan’s government-sponsored art exhibitions). Upon his return to Japan, however, he was drafted into the Pacific War. During the war and its immediate aftermath he lost his home, his father, mother and brother.
