Dagaku

Dagaku, a children’s taiko group, was founded by Oto-Wa members in 2006 to foster taiko and Japanese cultural activities among children and youth in the National Capital Region. The group meets once a week to practice taiko during the school year and often performs with Oto-Wa Taiko in various Japanese community events.

Dagaku has not yet resumed its activities since the break for COVID-19.
