“Eight Years on from the Tohoku Pacific Earthquake and Tsunami” by Yuichiro Funabashi

March 11, 2019

Today marks eight years since the Tohoku Pacific Earthquake and Tsunami.

On behalf of Kodo, I would like to express our heartfelt condolences to everyone who was affected by this disaster.

We continue to pray for the recovery of the affected regions and hope the people there find peace.

We will not forget this day.
We continue to care.
We are traveling performers who still ask ourselves
What we felt and what we were able to do at that time.
We will continue to drum and share the sound of taiko.

Today, we will take a moment of silence at 2:46pm.
