Ryukyu Mura Encore

Monday found me at Ryukyu Mura once again. It is the recreation of a typical native village and contains many original wooden homes with red tiled roofs. It also shows native crafts and everyday lifestyles. Festivals are a large part of the lifestyle of the Okinawans and Eisa is an extremely popular part of those festivals.

I was able to watch some of these Eisa traditional methods of music and dance. Afterwards the audience was invited to have their pictures taken with the performers. Can you say "CHEESEBURGER"? They can and do.
