Yuko Murayoshi assists an attendee in tying an obi, which is a sash worn over a yukata, during a traditional Japanese clothing class June 19 at the Marine and Family Programs building on Camp Foster, Okinawa. The class, sponsored by Marine Corps Community Services, Okinawa, taught attendees how to wear a yukata, a Japanese garment worn during summer. The class also highlighted traditional Japanese culture and customs and the importance of service members and their families engaging in the local culture. Attending cultural classes through MCCS is one of the ways service members can immerse themselves in the traditional Japanese culture, according to Murayoshi. Murayoshi is the instructor of the class, and a class coordinator with MCCS. (Marine Corps Photo by Cpl. Janessa K. Pon/ Released)
