Who Are We?

Taiko Kai is the University of Washington's first taiko ensemble.  We strive to promote and preserve Japanese culture through the art of traditional Japanese drumming. We hope to evoke a sense of pride, heritage, social understanding, and cultural values while attaining an appreciation for Japanese culture!
