[English title from publisher: Eisa Drums are pounding and exciting]
A picture book in Uchinaaguchi, providing insight to the tradition of michijuunee yeisaa. Carried out on night of uukui, the third and final day of shichigwachi, yeisaa traditionally is meant to give the ancestors a proper send-off as they return to gusoo, after spending three days here with us (the 13th, 14th, and 15th days of the 7th lunar month).
