Mahalo for a Successful Obon

Another successful Obon was held this year with the participation of our guests from Yaeyama Norin High School of Ishigaki Island in Okinawa. They treated everyone to great Okinawan entertainment together with the Maui Ryuku Culture Group, Ukwanshin Kabudan, and the Young Okinawans of Hawaii. Thank you!

Thanks also to Service Rentals and Supply for keeping us secure with the lighting of the temple grounds and parking area, and to Maui Zendo who always has a well-organized group that provides safe parking for everyone.

We are grateful to M. Toguchi Body Shop for the cases of bottled water which kept everyone hydrated, and to the Maui Okinawa Kenjin Kai for keeping us all well fed.

Thank you, too, to the farmers who donated the fresh produce and to the people who made baked goods to sell at our bazaar.

Also, a deep appreciation to Reverend Seiya Chisaka and the Myoshinji Temple of Japan for their support. Because of the hard work and generosity of our members and many friends, we were able to present another successful Obon, the only Okinawan Obon here on Maui. Thank you very much!
