Event Date: December 20, 2026 (2PM)

"Taiko Legacy 23” features live taiko, shamisen and dance in a unique pivot from the percussive high volt theatrics seen in many contemporary taiko performances to the original essence of theatrical taiko. Tsukasa's performance unit, Gintenkai, will be joined by special guests Melody Takata, Genryu Arts, Yoko Reikano Kimura and Yoshinojo Fujima (aka Rika Lin).

There will also be an opportunity to see a new generation of leaders in the artistic discipline performing alongside some of the youngest practitioners, all focused on performing the simplified grandeur of contemporary taiko with traditional aesthetics.
