November 3 is a special day to Japanese because it was Emperor Meiji’s birthday (born in 1852) and then evolved into Culture Day. Here is a YouTube video that was put together by our local Japanese and Okinawan societies to celebrate this event during our dreary Covid times. It is rather long at 48 minutes but I loved every minute of it. Almost makes me want to join one of them but I shall resist.
Thanks to pal Ryuko for sharing this with me. And now, I share with you.
My friend, Diane’s brother was also president. They went to that big get-together in Okinawa. She said it was amazing to see Okinawans from all over the world there. I had no idea about November 3rd being a special day. I shall have to ask mom if she remembers. 🙂
Cool!
thank you for sharing! I think my uncle was a past president of the the society.
Such a great organization to perpetuate our cultures.
