LA OBRA MAESTRA DE SUSUMU HIGA SOBRE LA BATALLA DE OKINAWA, CON LA QUE GANÓ EL JAPAN MEDIA ARTS GRAND PRIZE, EL PRESTIGIOSO GALARDÓN QUE OTORGA EL MINISTERIO DE CULTURA DE JAPÓN.

La batalla de Okinawa fue uno de los episodios más trágicos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial: Susumu Higa nos da su visión inmisericorde de lo que hicieron tanto americanos como japoneses.

Si la guerra nunca es una lucha perfecta entre el bien y el mal, la batalla de Okinawa fue un triste ejemplo de ello. Entre abril y junio de 1945, cerca de 150.000 personas (un tercio de la población total) fueron aniquiladas durante la invasión estadounidense. El ejército japonés, asimismo, cometió crímenes atroces contra la población civil, como promover suicidios en masa. Estaba en juego la supervivencia del Imperio japonés, de modo que Okinawa y el resto de las islas Ryukyu (con su lengua y cultura propias), fueron entregadas en sacrificio.

En Okinawa, el viento habla, Susumu Higa trenza con realismo varias historias paralelas, para servirnos una realidad cruda, en la que no toma partido ni busca interpretaciones políticas. Con esta obra, Sensei Higa se erigió como el gran cronista de la isla de Okinawa, un territorio fascinante cuya historia nunca se había contado con propiedad: suyo es el escalofriante testimonio de las tragedias sufridas por cientos de miles de civiles, abandonados a su suerte bajo la lluvia de bombas, la hipocresía del silencio y la rabia ante los abusos de todo tipo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Japanese Grass--winner of the Japan Media Arts Grand Prize.

The Battle of Okinawa was one of the most tragic episodes of World War II. Susumu Higa gives us his merciless view of what both Americans and Japanese did.

If war is never a perfect struggle between good and evil, the Battle of Okinawa was a sad example of this. Between April and June 1945, nearly 150,000 people (one-third of the total population) were killed during the American invasion. The Japanese army also committed atrocious crimes against the civilian population, such as encouraging mass suicides. The survival of the Japanese Empire was at stake, so Okinawa and the rest of the Ryukyu Islands (with their own language and culture) were sacrificed.

In Okinawa, the Wind Speaks, Susumu Higa realistically weaves together several parallel stories to present us with a harsh reality, in which he takes no sides and seeks no political interpretations. With this work, Sensei Higa established himself as the great chronicler of the island of Okinawa, a fascinating territory whose history had never been properly told: his is the chilling testimony of the tragedies suffered by hundreds of thousands of civilians, abandoned to their fate under a rain of bombs, the hypocrisy of silence, and rage in the face of abuses of all kinds.

Post-COVID Sock Hunt: Finally a Win
Size: Medium, Color: (001) Black / Black / White
Ever since COVID, I haven’t been able to find a pair of socks that hold up for more than a few months. Brands like UA, Adidas, and others seem to have cut corners—likely in response to inflation—by downgrading materials and labor rather than raising prices. The result? Socks that wear thin, rip easily, or lose shape fast. These, however, have been a pleasant surprise. I’ve been wearing them for a few weeks and so far, they’re holding strong. You can tell some cost-saving measures were still made—certain areas feel slightly thinner—but overall, the construction is solid. A key win: they stay on. These are ankle socks (not “no-shows”), and they hug the ankle securely. That’s a huge plus in a world where most post-COVID no-shows slide off halfway through the day. We may never get back to the pre-COVID quality standards without paying a premium, but for now, these are a reliable choice. Ratings: • No slipping: 10/10 • Price: 7/10 • Durability (so far): No pilling or loose threads — promising start.

Great Quality and Stylish
Size: Large, Color: (001) Black / Black / White
Exactly what I was looking for. I don’t like socks that are no-show that your ankles rub on the shoe. These are taller than that but shorter than socks that go up and over the ankle. They’re comfortable, good quality, and pretty thick. They’re form fitting m, but not compression. I dint like compression socks, and these are tight, but not too tight.
