Events › Seattle Kokon Taiko Drummers - Lynndale Park

Join us at Lynndale Park Amphitheater for a 30 minute performance by the Seattle Kokon Taiko Drummers!

Taiko is a synthesis of rhythm, movement and spirit, and its origins lie deeply embedded in Japanese culture and history. Taiko appears in the Japanese myths of origin involving the sun goddess Ameterasu. Taiko circle the head of the god of thunder. In olden days, it is said that village boundaries were set by the distance you could hear the taiko from the central square. Whether dancing at a festival, praying in a temple, watching a Kabuki drama or fighting a battle, the sound of the taiko could be heard as part of everyday Japanese life for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years.

Thank you to our community partner, Lynnwood Parks, Recreation, and Arts Department.
