Majikina Aiko, auditor for Okinawa Association of America, takes time from her bookkeeping duties to enjoy a joyful afternoon of picnicking with family and friends and some Okinawan folk dancing at the OAA picnic at Whittier Narrows Park in South El Monte on July 13. The event included food, raffles, a tug of war, martial arts demonstrations and finally an Okinawan Bon dance. This year’s picnic was attended by approximately 650 people.
Entertainment included drumming by the Los Angeles branch of Ryukyukoku Matsuri Daiko (above) and Okinawan classical dance by Miyagi-Ryu Nosho-Kai Miyagi Nosho Ryubu Kenkyusho (below), plus Ishihara Minyo and Uezu Yoko Minyo.
Children enjoyed a variety of activities, including a race. Everyone received a prize.
