In case you forgot, this annual celebration lasts 3 days, and welcomes back the ancestors to the island. The Eisa dancers and Taiko drummers parade around the streets for 3 nights from about 8:00 pm to 2:00 am. They came past our house about 11:30 pm this year. So we went out to help them welcome.
Taking a break...
While they took a break, I filled in on the sanshin, the 3-stringed instrument. How hard could 3 strings be, honestly? I don't think I impressed...
Bri filled in for the clown while he was on break. She was most impressive.
Our little neighbor boy Hiroya, with the Eisa clown.
Tell me if this procession wouldn't get you out of bed if it came by your house at midnight...
