Dōjō Party
After class, Onaga Kaichō hosted a nice party for the Petrak family who had come all the way from Augsburg, Germany, to visit Melanie.
The party continued with some music performances. Both Onaga Kaichō and Mr. Rainer Petrak play the trumpet, so they started a Jam Session. Next, Arakaki Shunichi Sensei continued the show singing and playing several traditional Okinawan songs on the sanshin.
