Take me back to the island where I was carefree

To the crystal turquoise seas

Where I was so unfamiliar with everything

Let me go back

Take me back to dance in the arcades

To the essence of my childhood

Where I was so familiar with everything

Let me go back

Take me back to the island where I was carefree

Inspired by my childhood living in Okinawa, Japan. My rendition of the famous, “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai.

I’ve been reminiscing of my childhood as of late, some of my favorite moments I dwell on when I’m feeling blue. I miss you Japan. I miss my carefree days spent with you. Thank you for being so loving to me.
