OAA member Kurt Hirata is currently participating in an international study program in his ancestral hometown Onna Village (恩納村役場企画課). The overseas Uchinaanchu students explore different aspects of Okinawan culture, from traditional Ryūkyūan dance to designing "shima-zori" (island slippers)! Chibariyō, Kurt, and we can't wait to hear more about your experiences! Original from 恩納村役場企画課 【恩納村海外移住者子弟受入事業】11/15 今日は観光協会で沖縄民具作りと 島ぞうりを作ってます(^^) 三線や琉球舞踊よりも細かい作業なので苦戦中です。 #okinawaassociationofamerica #kenjinkai #okinawa #uchinanchu #uchinaanchu #uchinaa #うちな #Ryukyu #沖縄 #nonprofit #ウチナーンチュ #うちなーんちゅ #県人会 #恩納村役場企画課 #onnavillageOn December 9, the OAA will be hosting our first-ever mini craft fair/holiday boutique. 🛍️🎁 Finish your holiday shopping early and support local creators! Though small in size, this holiday boutique is unique in that it will include some Okinawa-themed items. We will also have a limited supply of OAA merchandise including these tote bags and t-shirts designed by Richard Yamashiro and Jeff Shimane! Sunday, December 9 9 AM - 1 PM OAA Center, Room 103 (Gardena, CA) Parking is limited; street-side parking available Space is also limited, so there may be a waiting period to avoid overcrowding #okinawaassociationofamerica #kenjinkai #okinawa #uchinanchu #uchinaanchu #uchinaa #うちな #Ryukyu #沖縄 #nonprofit #ウチナーンチュ #うちなーんちゅ #県人会 #oaacraftshowSpring cleaning? Nah. In Japan and Okinawa, ōsōji is done at the end of the year so we can have a fresh start (originating from a ritual to welcome the New Year deities). That being said, the OAA needs help with its ōsōji THIS SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18, starting at 9 AM (lunch will be served to all volunteers). We will be wiping down tables and chairs and windows, dusting, re-organizing and decluttering (Konmari style), mopping and vacuuming, etc. This is a community effort, so we need all of the help we can get. Even if you can only volunteer for one or two hours, please don't hesitate to join in – come when you can, leave when you must.
