Taiko is an ancient, dynamic synthesis of rhythm, movement and the spirit of Japan. Seattle Kokon Taiko roots are from an offshoot of the Seattle Taiko Group, which formed in April 1980. In 1992, the two groups merged to form Seattle Kokon Taiko. The ensemble combines traditional Taiko with the modern in a repertoire that is a mix of traditional pieces and contemporary compositions.
