Well ok. To be completely honest I don't need anyone out there in internet land to tell me that they're NOT the same. At all. But until I have the necessary funds to front a (tentatively) 3 week whirlwind tour of East Asia, I'm going to have to accept that cultural fests like this are about as close as I'm gonna get.
Luckily they still have cool things to offer!
I think these were some festival 'princesses' (ps it was WAAY too cold for these outfits but here they are staying strong!)
Kendo (of some kind - I forget the specific style)
Loved these drummers!
A traditional Okinawan performance
Cute!
This was the last performance I caught of the day and they were so skilled and very impressive with their attention to detail in regards to this form of the archery.
