Testimonial
"The power of the Taikoza drum, the enlightenment of the flute and the beauty of the koto resonates in our students minds years beyond the initial workshops and/or performances. I highly recommend Taikoza to visit your school for they are valuable educators who are dedicated to the culture of Japan."

Accompanied by energizing taiko drums (ranging from small drums to 150 lb drums), colorful dances and Japanese flutes, students take a journey through different regions of Japan as they explore traditional folk songs and dances.
