Friendship was deepened among participants from Okinawa, the mainland of Japan and overseas and the others contributing to OGKK and the success for each individual involed were wished!

Following the Association’s 40th Anniversary Demonstration Tournament, a social gathering was held near the National Theater of Okinawa. Instructors and students from Okinawa, the mainland, and overseas deepened their bonds. Entertainment performances featuring songs and dances from various countries were presented, creating a lively atmosphere. The Minei Dojo also performed Nanko Minei sensei’s “Chinnukujushi” and “Gakkosei”—pieces that are an absolute must at such events—further energizing the venue!
