Now that I'm recovering from...Delhi Belly...I can say that Asano
Taiko's 400th Anniversary weekend was great, great fun. And the
feedback that we got from our performance from so many people
including Senmu himself was very inspiring to both myself as a solo
performer and to Tokara (my group). For those who don't know, Asano
Taiko is, by extremely far, the oldest and most skilled maker of taiko
drums in the world. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (only
every 100 years) to be a part of it, and only ten groups were chosen
from thousands. It was a great honor to be among the groups chosen.
pics to go up soon.

Back in Japan

Just arrived back to Japan a couple of hours ago. Now on the way straight to Asano Taiko's 400th Anniversary concert venue in which we will rehearse just after arrival. Then the concert tonight. It has been a tight schedule, but i am honored that my group was chosen to perform at this once in a lifetime event.
