A\u00a0small Kodo ensemble appeared at\u00a0“12th Shinon Kansha Nihon Taiko Matsuri”<\/a>\u00a0for the first time in Ise in Mie Prefecture. We performed at Okage Yokocho taiko turret and\u00a0on the Isuzu River banks near Ise Grand Shrine, giving performances on both days at both places. Twelve taiko\u00a0teams took part in the festival and it was a great opportunity for us to\u00a0see them all in action. I learned so much!\u00a0\"Photo:<\/a><\/p>\n

They were able to see our facial expressions up-close as well as our backs, which they usually can’t see when we are far away on stage. It was a dedicatory performance, so before we performed each time we prayed to the shrine, then played taiko with gratitude and respect.<\/p>\n
