We are very pleased to announce that the Experience Japan Taiko Team has invited Hiro Hayashida, a former Kodo member and one of Japan’s leading Taiko performers to give a Taiko Master Class to the EJ Team this August.

This is an excellent opportunity for the team which is now planning the future development of cultural and musical exchange with Ireland and the wider world.
