We follow four local Okinawan artists’ passions towards their creation through their respective atelier, exhibits and shows. The artists are: Bingata dyeing craftsman Eiichi Shiroma, potter Paul Lorimer, fashion designer Kanna Yamauchi, and stippling artist Kiyota Oshiro. Located in the southernmost part of Japan in the islands of Okinawa, inspiration comes in many forms: tradition, colors from nature, mother earth, teaching of gods, and local Okinawan people. What is it that motivates and drives these artists to create?
