]]> After a long winter break, and a lot of training, we are back and ready to bring Taiko to the Kansas City community!

We were able to attend a great weekend Midwest Intensive workshop with some of the lovely people from kaDON, including Shoji Kameda! It was an exhausting 2 days of instruction on Katsugi and Naname (slant style) skills and we made some amazing connections with other Taiko troops in the Midwest.

We have also updated our classes schedule and are also starting to fill up our performance schedule for the year. We now have an indoor space, at least for a little while, so we can focus more on playing music! 2026 is going to be very exciting!

Make sure to check out Classes schedule to find a practice you can attend! We hope to see you out and about in KC!

]]> We would like to thank Kansas City Japan Fest 2025 for having us out! We spent all day doing workshops and demonstrations, bringing Taiko to the community, and had a great time! It was a lot of fun teaching everyone from 5 years old to 85 years old the benefits of Taiko!

We also had the honor of accompanying Miho Kawashita during her Shodou: Japanese Calligraphy Demonstration & Performance! It was a wonderful experience! Check out the video here!
