Kazumi Ohishi
Ryukyuan people
Okinawa, Japan
“The form of human beings as we know it will change.”
Kazumi Ohishi is a Kaminchu indigenous to Okinawa. Kaminchu are female shamans and oracles historically responsible for ceremonial prayers to various gods protecting the kingdom, using their physical bodies to receive messages from higher beings. Traditionally, Kaminchu do not appear in front of other people and do not share their wisdom publicly. However, in light of what is happening around the world and the increasing impact of the natural disasters, Kazumi, as one of the few remaining Kaminchu, has decided to reveal her predictions to people around the world.
