Eiichi Saito took over the reigns to facilitate Kodo Juku in 1992 and back then we held Kodo Juku 4 times a year. For some time now, we have held it just once a year but one thing that has barely changed is the content. Each year the\u00a0participants tell us how the simple taiko drum led them to find new connections between their own body and soul and helped them to create wonderful new bonds with people they had only just met at the workshop.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone is welcome at Kodo Juku, whether you&#8217;ve played taiko before or not. First-timers will discover the special power of taiko and experienced players will discover many hints to playing taiko that truly moves people. The only condition is that you&#8217;ve never been to Eiichi Saito&#8217;s Kodo Juku before, as it is a once-in-a-lifetime workshop with no repeaters or groups of 2 or more.<\/p>\n<p>The application deadline is July 30, so don&#8217;t delay! We look forward to receiving your application soon and welcoming you to Sado Island for Kodo Juku this autumn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\uff1e\uff1e<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/ws\/juku_eiichi_en.html\" target=\"_blank\">See here for details!<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/P7210026.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10418 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/P7210026-340x453.jpeg\" alt=\"\u63d0\u4f9b\uff1a\u9f13\u7ae5\u6587\u5316\u8ca1\u56e3\" width=\"340\" height=\"453\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Eiichi Saito says &#8220;Join me for Kodo Juku on Sado Island!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_5986.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10419 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_5986-680x454.jpeg\" alt=\"\u63d0\u4f9b\uff1a\u9f13\u7ae5\u6587\u5316\u8ca1\u56e3\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><br \/>\nEarly morning stretch time at Kodo Juku 2015<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_6016.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10420 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_6016-340x510.jpeg\" alt=\"\u63d0\u4f9b\uff1a\u9f13\u7ae5\u6587\u5316\u8ca1\u56e3\" width=\"340\" height=\"510\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Jogging in the morning with the apprentices<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_6299.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10421 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_6299-680x454.jpeg\" alt=\"\u63d0\u4f9b\uff1a\u9f13\u7ae5\u6587\u5316\u8ca1\u56e3\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Eat, sleep, and play taiko!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/2e75fd6ba9b13afc7c69c4952c10b63c.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10422 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/2e75fd6ba9b13afc7c69c4952c10b63c-680x510.jpeg\" alt=\"\u63d0\u4f9b\uff1a\u9f13\u7ae5\u6587\u5316\u8ca1\u56e3\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><br \/>\nWorkshops are held in the Kodo Apprentice Centre gym, where the apprentices spend two years training in hopes of one day performing on stage with Kodo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/67cb4ab5169a1af7383cd020a95a4bde.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10426 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/67cb4ab5169a1af7383cd020a95a4bde-680x510.jpg\" alt=\"\u63d0\u4f9b\uff1a\u9f13\u7ae5\u6587\u5316\u8ca1\u56e3\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><br \/>\nPreparations for each Kodo Juku begin 8 months prior with a lot of enthusiasm!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/P7210060.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10424 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/P7210060-680x510.jpeg\" alt=\"\u63d0\u4f9b\uff1a\u9f13\u7ae5\u6587\u5316\u8ca1\u56e3\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The second year apprentices act as staff during Kodo Juku each year, learning valuable\u00a0skills as they host the participants.
