Taiko

Since February 2007 I have been a member of Emeryville Taiko and have now been allowed to participate in performances. Here is a selection of pictures and video from some of them.

Anyone who is interested in joining the group (no experience or equipment required) or seeing more performances, can examine the Emeryville Taiko website, or ask me directly.
