Eisa is a traditional art of Okinawa and the Amami Islands that involves dance and parades combined with poetry and music to welcome back ancestral spirits during the Buddhist Bon festival. The Okinawa Zento Eisa Festival is an Eisa convention held every Bon season in Okinawa. It was founded as the "Zento Eisa Contest" held in Koza City (now Okinawa). A revival of the spirit of eisa began in 1956 during the recession. The sounds of the shamisen, the rhythms of the taiko drums, and the colorful costumes feature provide an authentic and impressive experience. The festival took on its current name in 1977 and in recent years has grown to become one of Okinawa's largest events, attracting up to 300,000 visitors and incorporating fireworks displays, laser shows, and more.
