Okinawa Eisa es una forma de arte escénico que está relacionada con los ritos durante el festival Bon, cuando se cree que los espíritus de los antepasados vienen a visitar a los vivos. Eisa se realiza para entretener a los espíritus cuando regresan después de los festivales de Obon de tres días que comienzan el 13 de julio del calendario lunar. Aunque originalmente era un rito religioso, se ha convertido en un espectáculo.
My Mother is Okinawan. 💞 I was fortunate to live the life I did for most of my life in Okinawa Japan. I miss it. 😞 My extended family still is there. Thank you for bringing Okinawa to me so I could dance with you from Kansas. I love you all!! Rest in paradise Okaa San. 🙏🙏🙏 Til we meet again… 💞🙏💞
Happy Obon day! ⛩️🏮
Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us! Does someone by chance know the name of the last song performed?
