I am very happy with the Eyes of Hawaii photo club. I am also happy they posted this event under photo opportunities. It was almost like a club outing as many of us went to enjoy this festival.
"Eisa is a form of dance and drumming unique to Okinawa…the festival will have the largest gathering of Eisa drummers…there will be a gathering of the Shisa (Okinawan Lion Dogs) with the debut of a brand new Shisha."
Daiichi Hirata, an acclaimed artist, choreographer and director, came from Okinawa. We were so fortunate to see his performance.
At the close - all the participants were on stage. The Eisa clubs took turns playing. This Hawaiian Chanter and Daiichi had opened the ceremony - it was touching seeing the 2 cultures coming together.

Nice actions and angles you managed to find to frame your subjects.. Glad we were able to go!
R thanks, they certainly were passionate.
Shun Wah thanks, I enjoyed their excitement and I do try to get different angles. I too am glad we got to go and also got to sit where we did.
