New York Taiko Aiko Kai: Performance at Washington Square Music Festival June 20, 2017

About Us

New York Taiko Aiko Kai is one of the Taiko groups in residence as part of the TC Taiko Society at Teachers College, Columbia University. It began in 2002 when a few families at an Upper West Side public school began practicing Taiko with a hope to pass Japanese culture to their children. The group has always been family oriented, but many adults have also joined the group over the years. Hiro Kurashima, Osuwa Daiko Shihan, who was certified by the late Grandmaster Daihachi Oguchi, was the founding teacher of the group, and continues to teach and perform with the group regularly. NYTAK has performed at various schools and institutions, including the Sakura Matsuri at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Japan Heritage Day at the Staten Island Yankees, and public and private schools in New York.

2002年にニューヨーク親子太鼓として発足。以来、年齢を問わず、子供からシニアまで楽しく太鼓を習うグループ。2004年に、長野県岡谷市の御諏訪太鼓宗家、故小口大八より、紐育太鼓愛好会と命名をうける。ほぼ月一回、プロのインストラクターを招き、指導を受ける。メンバーがそれぞれ役割を分担し、愛好会を支えている。主に学校（コロンビア大学などの大学、地元の小、中学校など）で、演奏を披露し、地域での日本文化の紹介に努めている。
