On Feb. 8, 2012, at 9:01 pm, there was an earthquake centered on Sado Island that measured 5+ on the Japanese earthquake scale. The earthquake caused damage in one area on the island, which included water outages, etc. There was fortunately no great damage to the Kodo Village facilities, Sado Island Taiko Centre, Kodo Apprentice Centre, and members' homes, etc. We thank everyone for their concern and assure you that we are all fine.
