#TaikoLove Photo Challenge - October 29-31 - Spirit, Gratitude and Next Generation

11/2/2018

0 Comments

 
Why is this photo challenge called #TaikoLove? It is because taiko can build love in a community, and that is so important.

Taiko can bring positive energy to those who feel stressed out and disconnected. It can be a place where people feel appreciated and celebrated each week.

The #TaikoLove photo challenge was a window into all those weekly practices and performances across the world. There are people everywhere sharing the love of taiko with people of all ages. Think about how much taiko helps people to build confidence, experience joy and feel connection.

For one month, we imagined that we were all playing together. What a sound and feeling!
​
Thank you to everyone who joined the #TaikoLove photo challenge. We shared our vision for what taiko is and can be for the next generation. It feels sad it's over, but let's keep the conversation going.
Enjoy the posts from the last three days of the photo challenge, and much #TaikoLove to all of you!

How Much #TaikoLove Did We Generate?

#taikolove day 29 - “spirit”: one of our most recent achievements was learning the different parts of “Edo Kotobuki Jishi” - especially the movements which, aside from being physically demanding, can be difficult to really capture the spirit of the lion. A huge thank you to sensei Kenny Endo for helping us to embrace this challenge!

Because of the kids in the background dancing to our playing to the looks on our faces to the hands in the air. Spirit is all of this. Joy in the music and movement, sharing the style of drumming with others, how fun it is to play, and honoring those who performed before us. #TaikoLove #spokanetaiko #taiko #drums #drumming #japanesestyledrumming #spokane #spirit

Inktober/#TaikoLove Day 29: "Spirit" - Okay so there's a bit of a story behind this one. In my taiko group's practice space, there's an elevator that randomly opens and closes every now and then. I don't remember ever seeing anyone actually use it. So, that's our resident elevator ghost. I don't know what kind of form our elevator ghost takes, but I figure it must be a little bit like No-Face - kinda lonely, just wants to find a friend and a purpose, probably hungry. No wonder it hangs out with us taiko kids. â–¡ . . . #inktober #inktober2018 #art #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #drawing #drawingchallenge #pen #ink #inkart #sharpie #sharpieart #mujipens #moleskine #TaikoLove #taiko #nendaiko #spirit #ghost #studioghibli #ghibli #spiritedaway #noface

Although we haven’t posted for every day of the #taikolove challenge, today’s theme was very inspiring: gratitude. And while there are a great many people and groups who are perfect subjects for this prompt, as we look back on 50 years, it seems natural to commemorate someone who was integral to the creation of SFTD, and modern taiko as we know it today: Grandmaster Daihachi Oguchi. Though he is no longer with us, his spirit lives on in thousands of taiko players around the world, and we will continue to honor his memory through sharing the joy of taiko! . . . . . . #taiko #taikolife #sftd50 #sftdspirit #gratitude

#taikolove Day 30 - “gratitude”: We have so many people to express gratitude, that we almost need a month just for this one topic. We’re fortunate to have so many supporters - family, friends, instructors, and students. However, we’d be remiss not to spotlight the congregation and Directors at Puna Hongwanji Mission for their continuous support. Also - a special “mahalo” goes to Reverend Satoshi Tomioka for his guidance and encouragement. (Not to mention having to hear us practice four nights-a-week!).

Grateful for the opportunity to form lasting bonds and friendship. Lastly we are grateful to Nendaiko for putting this together and bringing the taiko community together through social media!! Our last picture is our most recent Beginners class after their graduation recital. Our group continues to grow as these beginners morph into performing members.

Day 30 of the @nendaiko #TaikoLove challenge is #gratitude . In our group, at the end of each song we bow, perform rei, in gratitude for sharing the song with the audience and for sharing the performance with the other members. And for me, at the beginning, there's a sense of gratitude that I get to play, perform, lead. I am grateful for that. #TaikoLove #spokanetaiko #taiko #drums #drumming #japanesestyledrumming #spokane #gratitude

Kita no Taiko

The Nen Daiko theme for #TaikoLove today is 'gratitude'.
I think this photo captures a lot of that essence. I am grateful for those who worked hard and broke barriers to grow taiko in North America and make it inclusive. I am grateful for my own community that allows me to stretch the definitions of what taiko is and can be used for, and for my group members who support and challenge me, inspire and grow with me.

This past weekend, Yamatai enjoyed a workshop led by renowned Taiko player Mark H Rooney! Mark H is a performer and teacher whose lessons center around connection, reaction, and interaction. With workshops starting Friday night to Sunday afternoon, the members of Yamatai had ample time to learn as much as possible from him, both while drumming and at dinner at Four Seasons. We had an amazing weekend and can’t thank Mark enough for his kindness and taiko wisdom! □□‍□□#taikolove

We would like to thank all the amazing teachers we have been so lucky to have. Allison Eckardt has done so much for each of us as individual players, and even more for the work she has done for our ensemble. We have had many amazing professionals teach us as well.

Inktober/#TaikoLove Day 31: "Next generation" - Combining childhood nostalgia, tradition, and new growth to teach the next generation of taiko players. Also, "Taikotoro". ? Thank you so much @nendaiko for creating the #TaikoLove challenge, and thank you for everyone's support! I had so much fun with this prompt list. Last year I did 8 Inktober drawings, this year I did 20 - shooting for a solid 31 next Inktober. (or sooner!) . . . #inktober #inktober2018 #art #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #drawing #drawingchallenge #pen #ink #inkart #sharpie #sharpieart #mujipens #moleskine #TaikoLove #taiko #nendaiko #nextgeneration #studioghibli #ghibli #myneighbortotoro #totoro

Day 31 of the @nendaiko #TaikoLove challenge is #nextgeneration . Our group doesn't have a youth group, so our next generation comes from those that we have performed in front of, who we have given a chance to feel the way bachi vibrates against the head of a drum. Here is our director giving that chance to kids and adults alike in Missoula, Montana at the University of Montana's International Festival in 2015. #TaikoLove #spokanetaiko #taiko #drums #drumming #japanesestyledrumming #spokane #nextgeneration

Final Day of @nendaiko #taikolove Challenge: NEXT GENERATION! We may be loud...we may be energetic...but we are quiet as a mouse compared to our Naruwan kiddos! Here's to our family continuing to grow and may our spirit and energy on the taiko continue to be free and pure like that of these children! . . . Thank you, @nendaiko for the fun month and opportunity to share our stories and learn about each other! . . . #taiko #nextgeneration #naruwantaiko

What a pleasure it has been to participate with our kindred taiko hearts for @nendaiko photo challenge this month. What is more precious than sharing your love and dedication to the taiko art than with your own children #nextgeneration (yes she has ear plugs in! â–¡) Arigato Gozaimashita #triangletaiko #japanesedrumming #TaikoLove #arigato #thankyou #babydrummer

Lastly we are grateful to Nen Daiko for putting this together and bringing the taiko community together through social media!! Our last picture is our most recent Beginners class after their graduation recital. Our group continues to grow as these beginners morph into performing members.
