Conclusion: Okinawa’s Long Postwar
Conclusion to the Okinawa Memory Initiative module
These images differ from those in the "Daily Life and Work " page in that here, labor does not appear to be the major focus of either Charles Gail or the people in the photographs. Instead, Gail seems particularly interested in trying to capture the portraiture (attire and physical characteristics of the people themselves), which he often described in writing on backs of the images.

"The old Mamasan"
1
""This old Mamason was none too happy to be cornered for a picture, but after I took it I bowed and thanked her in Japanese and she gave me a big toothless smile. If you look closely you can see the tattoos on her hands and wrists that are placed on there at marriage. This was outlawed in 1879 by the Japanese, but there are still lots of them to be seen. The material in her dress is of local origins."

Portrait of smiling man

When Gail Project members took the photos to Okinawa to share with people there, some remarked that the man in the picture was "definitely Filipino." This could indeed be accurate, given that many Filipinos did follow U.S. military labor networks from the Philippines to Okinawa.

"Tattooed hands"
1
"This old lady has the tattooed hands and was smoking a cigarette with the holder which turns up at the end. They are very common here. Also from her behavior while I was taking the picture, I decided she was also quite familiar with saki (sic). The lady in the background is grinding beans in a mortar and pestle type grinder."
