13th Usuko Embu Tai Kai for Akamine Eisuke Shinshi

This Reminder is for our 13th Usuko Embu Tai Kai. Translated, it’s for the Anniversary of the passing of my teacher Akamine Eisuke Shinshi.

Note: In Okinawa culture, they add a year at birth and at death. We have celebrated this event chronologically which is actually the 12th for us, but since the 13th year is important in their culture, I decided to add a year. This keeps us in sync with Okinawa.
