Yet behind the postcard images of palm-lined beaches and tranquil waters lie histories of war, colonization, and militarization. <em>Capturing Paradise<\/em> examines this contradiction through the lens of the picture postcard. Focusing on Hawai\u2018i and Okinawa, this exhibition reveals how these islands, transformed by American and Japanese imperial projects, were reshaped and reimagined for tourist consumption.<\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">In the aftermath of World War II, U.S. regional hegemony and the America-Japanese alliance gave rise to a new strategy of imperialism known as \u201cmilitourism.\u201d Under this this system, military control and infrastructure enabled massive waves of tourism to the occupied islands. In turn, the tourism industry, through idyllic imagery like that found in postcards, worked to sanitize and normalize the ongoing military presence. Circulated by soldiers and tourists alike, postcards both reflected and disseminated the &#8220;tourist gaze&#8221; of American and Japanese audiences\u2014a vision that stood in stark contrast to Indigenous realities and the daily burdens of living beside military bases.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 40px;\">Through a curated selection of historical postcards and contextual materials, <em>Capturing Paradise<\/em> examines postcard imagery as reflections of the tourist gaze and imperial power. The exhibition aims\u00a0 unsettle the tourist gaze and foster a more nuanced understanding of Hawai\u2018i and Okinawa as interconnected, ongoing sites of military occupation and imperialism. We invite you to look beyond the allure of paradise to see how these images embody and obscure the enduring legacies of war and imperialism cross Asia and the Pacific.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a73d9d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2a73d9d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95c60e2 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"95c60e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-802ad63 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"802ad63\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a3d4d0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2a3d4d0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55946ea e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"55946ea\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38d4268 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"38d4268\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e29fe2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7e29fe2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><br>Key Questions<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c6d0c1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4c6d0c1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a5bfd5 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9a5bfd5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e0b9da6 animated-slow elementor-testimonial--skin-default elementor-testimonial--layout-image_inline elementor-testimonial--align-center elementor-arrows-yes elementor-pagination-type-bullets elementor-widget elementor-widget-testimonial-carousel\" data-id=\"e0b9da6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_per_view&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;slides_to_scroll&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:3000,&quot;space_between&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:0,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:4000,&quot;show_arrows&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pagination&quot;:&quot;bullets&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;loop&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;space_between_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;space_between_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"testimonial-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-main-swiper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Slides\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHow have sites of military occupation across Asia and the Pacific been reimagined as ideal tourist destinations?

This critical approach is the first step in unsettling the gaze and uncovering the hidden narratives of power, resistance, and resilience that lie beneath the surface of the postcard.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd02e46 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fd02e46\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-623f4fc elementor-widget__width-auto animated-slow elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"623f4fc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInRight&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Tourist Gaze<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e622aca e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e622aca\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2660e33 animated-slow eael-flipbox-content-align-center eael-flipbox-img-default elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-eael-flip-box\" data-id=\"2660e33\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInRight&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"eael-flip-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"eael-elements-flip-box-container eael-animate-flip eael-animate-left eael-content eael-flip-box-click eael-flipbox-fixed-height eael-flipbox-dynamic\">\n\n            <div class=\"eael-elements-flip-box-flip-card\">\n                <div class=\"eael-elements-flip-box-front-container\">\n                    \n                    \n                        <div class=\"eael-elements-slider-display-table\">\n                            <div class=\"eael-elements-flip-box-vertical-align\">\n                                <div class=\"eael-elements-flip-box-padding\">\n                                    <div class=\"eael-elements-flip-box-icon-image\">\n                                                                                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"eael-flipbox-image-as-icon\" src=\"\" alt=\"\">\n                                                                            <\/div>\n                                                                        <div class=\"eael-elements-flip-box-content\">\n\t                                                                        <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"eael-elements-flip-box-rear-container\">\n                                                                <div class=\"eael-elements-slider-display-table\">\n                            <div class=\"eael-elements-flip-box-vertical-align\">\n                                <div class=\"eael-elements-flip-box-padding\">\n                                                                            <div class=\"eael-elements-flip-box-icon-image\">\n                                                                                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"eael-flipbox-image-as-icon\" src=\"\" alt=\"\">\n                                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                                                            <div class=\"eael-elements-flip-box-content\">\n                                                                            <\/div>\n\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-209566a animated-slow elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"209566a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInRight&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aphnyuorg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/2025-04-10-16-38_Page_1_Image_0001.jpg\">Okinawan woman wearing Bingata in front of Shurei-mon.

&#8220;Japan&#8217;s Hawaii&#8221; by the tourism industry, drawing familiar association between the islands&#8217; shared tropical beaches, warm weather, and exotic vibe. However, beyond aesthetic similarities, the phrase further alludes to broader historical patterns of empire in the Pacific.<\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">In the aftermath of WWII, neocolonialism took a new form through militarization and touristification. Hawai\u02bbi served as a prototype for the militourist model. After annexation and statehood, it was aggressively developed into the American vision of\u00a0 tropical paradise, a process that relied on its militarized infrastructure and security. Likewise, after the U.S. occupation and return to Japanese administration, Okinawa was consciously remade in this image. The Japanese government and corporate investors explicitly replicated the Hawai\u02bbi as a template, adopting strategies of large-scale resort development, and the repackaging of Indigenous culture for tourist consumption.<\/p><p>Therefore, the phrase &#8220;Japan&#8217;s Hawai\u02bbi&#8221; is far more than a marketing slogan. It is the direct outcome of a trans-Pacific project in which militarism and tourism are used to consolidate U.S. and Japanese sovereignty over the islands.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5308543 elementor-blockquote--align-left elementor-widget__width-initial
