The Okinawa Association of Hong Kong Urizun held a year-end party at the Okinawan tavern Izakaya in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.
About 400 people took part in the party and enjoyed it. The head of the association Mayumi Matayoshi started the party, saying, “Not only people from Okinawa but also those who like the prefecture or have gone there all belong to the association!”
Last summer, the association held a charity bazaar for the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake. The association members helped with the eisa event at the sports festival of the Japanese school of Hong Kong last October.
After the participants introduced themselves, they played Uta Sanshin and guitar. They were excited about the quizzes on Okinawa. Even though the association holds its events irregularly, it connects Okinawan people living in Hong Kong with those involved in the prefecture. The association stimulates them.
