[Eisa Dondon] Main Feature with Japanese subtitles (80 minutes)
In order to convey the charm of the Okinawa All Island Eisa Festival, the Executive Committee produced a special video "Eisa Dondon" to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the Okinawa All Island Eisa Festival. It is a human drama that depicts the growth of a youth group aiming to participate in the Okinawa All Island Eisa Festival and the family ties. It conveys the history and charm of the Okinawa All Island Eisa Festival, and shows what Eisa is all about. It is a wonderful video that allows you to touch the essence of Okinawan culture.
