Haiku

俳句

Like everyone else, our taiko dojo was also locked down during the pandemic. In an effort to stay connected, my taiko family came up with various challenges and tasks. One of them was to write a haiku about taiko. Here are some of the moments we shared during training at the dojo or workshops in the Rotorua Forest Camp.

-  I hope you'll enjoy reading these haikus as much as I enjoyed writing them*

*TO MY KUMO FAMILY - FOR THE JOY WE SHARED TOGETHER PLAYING "RAGING WAVES", RISING MOUNTAIN", "SPRING SPRING SPRING" AND MIYAKE.

THANK YOU.
