Okinawa Mensore Festa
Everybody loves Okinawa. Named Okinawa Mensore Festa (沖縄めんそーれフェスタ), a week of Okinawan entertainment and food was held at Sunshine City in Ikebukuro, Tokyo during May 30-June 8, 2014. I went to see the Okinawan dances and Eisa drummers on May 31, 2014. Held at alpa’s Fountain Plaza on the B1 basement floor. Free admission.
My video includes Yotsudake (classical Okinawan dance), Wakashu-zei, Martial arts dance with karate and martial arts movements, Kanayo, Mamidoka Kuroshima Kudochi (farmer’s dance from Ishigaki), and Eisa taiko drummers from Onnason village. Miss Okinawa (Miss Sky Blue, Keiko Takaesu) was also on hand to promote Onna village.
