Yesterday, Matsuzaki held its 12th annual Taiko Festival. It was awesome! (or "saiko"  pronounced psycho in Japanese) 4 taiko groups, 2 dancing dragons, a bamboos flute, smashing symbols and gongs were accompanied by torches of fire, candles in bamboo holders, and the sound of waves lapping on the beach. When the sun disappeared under the sea in front of us, the nearly full harvest moon came up behind us. Nothing short of spectacular! Please join us next year for the  13th annual Taiko Festival in beautiful Matsuzaki!
