All things Okinawan
Myron Akana has done it again! Our internet-Okinawa photographer has brought us another great set of pictures from this year’s Okinawan festival, showcasing the dynamic Naha Daiko group from Okinawa. Check out internet-Okinawa.com’s Flickr photo gallery or jump directly to the Naha Daiko set. Enjoy!
On Friday and Saturday night, the Ryukyu Bon Dance group led the Okinawan portion of the program at the Mililani Hongwanji Obon. Young and old enjoyed participating in a variety of lively Okinawan folk songs that concluded with two Uchina Pop numbers by the Rinken Band: “Jin Tu Bi Do” and “Shichi Gwachi Eisa.” Hope to see you next year!

Dancing the night away around the yagura
Internet-Okinawa photographer/correspondent, Myron Akana has just returned from a trip to Okinawa with tons of new photos to share on i-O’s Flickr site! He attended the 2006 Naha Eisa Fest and captured some great pictures of some of the performances, including the dynamic youth Eisa group, Churasa!
So please, visit our Flickr photo gallery and enjoy the sights and excitement of Okinawa.
As you already know, i-O is a constant work in progress. The rotating header images are finally going. (Many thanks to Myron Akana for his awesome photos.) I am still working on getting the articles migrated over from the old version of the site.
