Asia Life Okinawa

10,000 Eisa Dancers

Something we learned immediately here is that Japan is a country of festivals {matsuri}
and Okinawa ~ oftentimes seeming like a different country altogether from it’s motherland ~
has countless year-round festivals of it’s own.
This one is a week long that culminates with 10,000 traditional eisa dancers ~
 a dance passed down to pay respect to ancestors each summer by marching through their neighborhoods while playing {taiko} drums.
It was awesome to see…and to hear.

    your "he blends in really well" comment made me LAUGH outloud at my desk. And LOVE the pic of you grinning from ear to ear — is that because you didn't have to wrangle BERT for sound today? 🙂
