Source of felicitation

Karii (happy precedent) is a word meaning "good luck."
In Okinawa, when something joyful or happy happens,
"Karii chikirana (Let's share the joy), karii!"
is a well-known greeting for toasts.

Yanbaru is the birthplace of Okinawa Island and the source of its water.
The Yanbaru festival started in 2017 with the aim of making this area,
with its beautiful nature and rich culture, a new source of art.
Thanks to your support, the festival is now in its 7th year.

With this year's festival being the lucky number "7," we set our sights on our 8th year.
We hope that this year's festival will be a source of even more joy and happiness.
We are calling out to you in high spirits and vigor.
Gusuyo! Karii sabira!
