Japan Creative Arts and The School of Taiko present the 4th Bellevue World Taiko Festival with the special guest group Miyake Geinou Doushikai! They are a skills performing arts group, known as the group that has taught their "Miyake" art form to KODO, a world famous taiko group.
Miyake is a popular repertoire recognized by its sounds, movements, and Samurai spirits. This unique style of drumming is simple, yet powerful enough to move audiences. Accompanied by a sophisticated stage performance, Miyake Taiko is a must-see. The intense beats, breathtaking body movements, and their spirits will energize your soul.
Proceeds will go to providing Japanese culture and arts for local elementary schools in need through taiko school assemblies. Furthermore, you will enjoy Japanese matcha (green tea), the beauty of Hina-Matsuri, a Silent Auction for great art, and more in the lobby.
