Answer: B 
The hari is a traditional boat race through which people pray to the gods that fishermen will be safe and catch many fish. The boats that are used have a dragon's head at the front and a dragon's tail on the oars. They are known as hari because their shape mimics dragons, known as haryu in Japanese.The Flower Carnival, the Sea Carnival, the Kingdom Festa in Ryukyu, and Santopia Okinawa are four big events that attract crowds of visitors to Okinawa. The Sea Carnival takes place against the backdrop of Okinawa's beautiful ocean, and its biggest attraction is the hari races. They are held in the Okinawan capital, Naha, in May, and in other regions in May and June. Among the highlights of the hari are the bravery of the racers and the way that crowds of people cheer them on by ringing bells and dancing. |
