Okinawa City residents celebrate Kikushu
Shizuko Yara, an Okinawa City resident, pours sake onto a shrine as part of a Kikushu ritual on Kadena Air Base, Japan, Oct. 2, 2014. During Kikushu, members of any given Japanese community gather in a common space to offer food to their ancestors and pray for the prosperity of their families and a successful harvest. This year, former residents of the land Kadena now occupies came on base to visit their old community garden in celebration of Kikushu. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Zade C.
