Traditional Ryukyu Dance Kajadifu at Graduation 2022
Every year, the OIST graduation ceremony starts with a performance of traditional Okinawan dance (琉球舞踊) and music by OIST community members. In 2022, it was "Kajadifu," the most famous of the congratulatory dances, performed on occasions of joy, such as celebrations and inaugurations. Rich in the primary forms and techniques of Ryukyuan dance, such as the use of decorative fans, it is a celebration of the joy of life and one of the most important dances in the canon.
