We need your help! 🫵

RMD MA was founded in 2020 with the mission of sharing and spreading Okinawan culture in Massachusetts. This year, on October 10, we will be holding our 6th anniversary concert: “Den: ~Kokoro Wo Komete~” to celebrate the growth of our RMD MA family, and to showcase Okinawan culture in the Greater Boston Area.

But we cannot make this happen on our own. Please support our anniversary concert by making a donation! The fundraising link, along with the link to purchase tickets, is in our bio (click on the link titled“Den: ~Kokoro Wo Komete~: website”). We would appreciate any and all support you can give us in our ongoing mission to bring the spirit of Okinawa to Massachusetts! ❤️

祭り太鼓の活動の中には、演舞だけではなくその裏にずっと繋がる「心」があります。私たちはその「心」をOB義輝さんより受け取りました。

クバ扇
義輝さんの知り合いの造園会社が、沖縄で育ったこのクバ（ビロウ）の葉を快くアメリカへと送り出してくださいました🙏　その後、洗浄〜葉の形を考えて切る〜乾燥〜補助木を加える〜コーティングまで全て時間をかけて丁寧に心を込めて作った扇。

クバ笠
OBのお母様のお店から購入。お母様は、すごく喜んでいたそうです。

運び屋になったみほちゃん、
初めて義輝さんに会ってきっと心の熱さ(あたたかさ)を感じたと思います。　

私達は、皆様に支えてもらい、愛情を送って頂き、心より感謝致します❤️🙏
この皆様の「想い」を大切にし、一緒に踊る日が待ち遠しいです。

Within the activities of Matsuri Daiko, there is something that goes beyond the performance itself, a kokoro spirit that connects us.
We received this kokoro from our OB member, Yosh*teru-san from Okinawa, Japan.
Kuba (Chinese Fan Palm) Fans
Kuba (Birō) leaves grown in Okinawa were kindly gifted and sent to the United States by a landscaping company run by a friend of Yosh*teru-san. 🙏
Each fan was carefully handcrafted with great care: washing the leaves, shaping them, drying them, adding supporting wood, and finishing with a protective coating.
Kuba Hats
These were purchased from the shop of our OB’s mother, who was very happy to hear they would be used for our activities in Massachusetts.
Miho-chan became the special carrier who brought them to us.
When she met Yosh*teru-san for the first time, she surely felt the warmth and passion of his heart.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who supports us and sends us their love. ❤️🙏
We will cherish these heartfelt connections and look forward to the day we can dance together.
*Kuba (Birō) Tree: Arecaceae family, Chinese fan palm (Livistona chinensis).

Happy New Year!!! 🎉🐎

Last Sunday, Jan. 4, was our first practice (Hatsuuchi) of 2026! After our usual practice, the members got together to do Kakizome (Japanese practice of starting the new year with calligraphy). What we wrote is a secret for later… 🤫

Last year was a year full of new friendships, connections, and members. We are grateful for all of your support in 2025, and are looking forward to sharing our Eisa and Okinawan culture with even more people during 2026. We hope that 2026 will be a year of joy for you all ❤️

New members announcement!
We just welcomed 4 new members: Luke, Josie, Ariel, and Alyssa! All of them attended our recent Eisa workshop. Luke joined right after he started the workshop (sorry for the delayed update!), and Josie, Ariel and Alyssa joined after they completed the workshop.
We are very excited that they are part of our Eisa family!!

Some members dropped their bachi (drum stick) during practice, so they did pushups as a “reward” - the RMD MA way :D

Last Saturday, we wrapped up the 6 week Eisa workshop in Cambridge, MA. The participants did a great job and finished their last class wearing custom T-shirts designed by our members!
