Sabani - the small fishing boat that is the pride of Okinawa’s maritime culture. Its history started from dugout canoes. The technique of sabani-building and the shape of the boats differ subtly with the age or according to the sabani builder’s taste. But the sabani has always been loved by Okinawan fishermen who are after greater speed and toughness in their boats. Here we explore the history of sabani and what makes it so attractive.
