Saturday was the start of Obon.

Everywhere I have lived in Okinawa, the village has its own Eisa dancers and drummers.

It is taken very seriously with weeks of practice before Obon.
I hear the drums throbbing and go out on the street,
The Isa Eisa boys and girls are ready to go. What a performance ! Singing, dance, drumming.
Well done Isa Eisa group! A truly wonderful performance out on the street on a hot Okinawan night.
I took my super Nikon DSLR with super pro lens. I wish I had taken my iPhone. I am sure it would have dealt better with fast moving subjects in low light. I could also have taken video. Times change.
I have the second cataract surgery, this time on my left eye. Much the same as the surgery on my right eye. As usual the nurses are the best fun.
Kind Kiyuna san and Jacko pass by to see if I am OK.

Great news to see the second eye sorted. Hope the post-op self-treatment is going well – good at getting the drops into the eyes first time yet?
That Obon thing looks like fun and people seem to be enjoying themselves in their ancestral memorials.
Thanks Alan,
Sorry to hear about your car. Was it newish? I don’t think I had seen it. Yes good to get the surgery finished. I am useless about eye drops. I have to take so many at the moment and I cannot really tell if the liquid has actually gone in my eye or just near it. Anyway take it easy after the crash.
