Focusing on the unique experiences of Okinawan women during the Allied occupation from 1945 to 1972, this book explores their relationships with non-Western men, primarily from the Philippines. While the narrative of "war brides" typically highlights Japanese women marrying Western soldiers, this work sheds light on the often-overlooked stories of these women and their diverse paths, offering a fresh perspective on love and cultural exchange in a historical context marked by conflict and occupation.
