U.S. Marine Corps Col. David Banning, the commanding officer of Headquarters and Support Battalion, Marine Corps Installations Pacific, holds an Odaiko drum during an Eisa dance show on Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan, May 14, 2023. Eisa is a dance that originated in Okinawa, Japan, and was initially performed by Japanese Buddhist monks to pay tribute to their ancestors' spirits. Over time, it transformed into a more contemporary and entertaining art form, captivating audiences especially during the Obon Festival in the summer. Eisa combined lively rhythms, vibrant dance moves, and energetic drumming, blending ancient traditions with modern artistic elements. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Jonathan Beauchamp)
