Synopsis

Higa's Mabui depicts Okinawa's spiritual transformation under U.S. occupation through a yuta priestess's perspective.

In Mabui (Okinawan for "spirit"), Higa explores how the American occupation has irreversibly changed the island prefecture, through the lens of the archipelago's indigenous spirituality and the central character of the yuta priestess.
