I’m excited to announce that I was invited to perform a LARGE-scale live calligraphy with Sacramento Taiko Dan at the International Taiko Festival, hosted by San Francisco Taiko Dojo.
Surrounded by numbers of powerful Japanese taiko drums, I will be writing a large piece with mop-sized calligraphy brush. I’ll be dedicating this calligraphy piece to the spirit of traditional Japanese taiko, and one of the members of Sacramento Taiko Dan who’s fighting with cancer. Wishing to bring you all the positive inspiration and joyful energy though this amazing collaboration.
