Nice entry; any idea how to get a copy of this book “Okinawan Poetry by Naganori Komine” would be great

Hi Brett. If you’re on the US mainland, try contacting the folks over at the Okinawa Association of America http://oaamensore.org. If you’re on the island of Oahu, contact Derek Shiroma-sensei at the email listed in this post. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Richie, I was given a sanshin when I was in Okinawa with the service. In my last move the shippers chipped the lacquer on it and snapped off one of the tuning dials. I want a reputable person or place to have my sanshin repaired but I dont want to leave it to just some musical repair shop that has no idea what they are dealing with or no experience. I would also need a cost estimate so that the claims office will cover the expense. Anybody in mind?

Hi Serina! Thanks for the comment and the suggestion to add Daichi to the links page. I remember when he was with Folder and will gladly add him.

Hi Richie! I just want to say that I love what you are doing here! I’ve been searching for something like this for a while and now I have found it! >.< I just want to suggest an Okinawan artist who does Japanese Hip Hop! His name is 三浦大知 and he is the most amazing singer I have ever heard! Here is his website ^.^

@Sophie: I’ve heard of his films and may have seen one or two long ago in Okinawa in VHS format but I doubt it came with English subtitles. If I find any I’ll let you know.

Hi, I am looking for the films by Takamine Go. Does anybody know if they are available somewhere (with english subtitles)?
