Attend a unique free performance by Kona Daifukuji Taiko group which has performed publicly since November 1989 to perpetuate Japanese culture and the art of Taiko. Akemi Sensei, who was a member of the original Taiko group under the direction of Rev. Ryuji Tamiya Sensei and his wife Noriko Tamiya-san, has been leading the group over the last 15 years. She enjoys sharing her love for Taiko and watching her “Taiko children” blossom into amazing individuals throughout the years. Kona Daifukuji Taiko group performance members practice diligently twice a week throughout the year to be able to move in unison with high spirit and energy during their performances. They will perform “kumi daiko” which means “ensemble” style playing. The group’s youngest members, the “Pikachu group,” will also be performing so come by and rock with us! All ages are welcome to this event and young children must be accompanied by a parent or adult caregiver.
