Taiko Performance. 2002.

I spent a couple of years playing Taiko, which involved hitting large Japanese drums with thick wooden sticks.
I found it an incredibly physically demanding activity.

As I become more involved in inline skating, I found I had less time for other fun activities like this. Although I would often skate from my apartment in the Annex down to the Yakudo studio at Lakeshore and Islington.



This performance took place at the Japanese Cultural Centre near Don Mills and Eglinton on June 22nd in 2002 as part of the Caravan Multicultural festival.




Friends who came out to watch me perform.
