#taiko

The traditional form of Japanese drumming, known as taiko, has existed for thousands of years and is used in religious ceremonies, wars and entertainment.

Eighth-grader Lily Kubo noted how physical the art form is. One thing is that my forearms have about doubled in size since I began, which is always good, Lily says, because now I can help my parents bring in the groceries with, like, no problem.
