Hello again!
For our latest island adventure I bring you . . . (drumroll) . . . eisa dancing! Traditional dance of the Ryukyu Kingdom, eisa uses drums, chanting and karate-type movements for a high-energy performance which is pretty much unlike any other form of dance I’m familiar with. The Island-wide Eisa Festival was this weekend, in conjunction with the Orion Beer Festival (a local brewery), so we piled Logan into the stroller and off we went!
This group was tremendous! They’ve performed around the world—London, Carnegie Hall, Australia, China, etc.
Members of another group waiting their turn to perform.
There were children in several of the performances as well, but this little guy was just standing in the back of the crowd, dancing and banging his little heart out on his drum!
Perhaps the boy in the back of the crowd should give this little guy some lessons. “Oh, am I supposed to be performing?”
Meanwhile, this little guy was chilling and watching the show. In spite of the ear infection (and perhaps, because of the Tylenol), he was in a great mood and spend the better part of the time running around, taking in the sights and smiling at people.
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading; stop by again soon!
An ear infection? Probably part of life in Okinawa - the same as J'ville!! Glad you could
ReplyDeletesee another part of the culture there. Love seeing Okinawa through your eyes/camera.
Love and miss you.

So glad to see you enjoying things as a family. Keep the pictures coming. Logan is so adorable. Need to give you all a squeeze : )
ReplyDeleteBut since I can't be there, you will have to do it for me!
