My kids are involved with the Taiko club at school….that show must have been incredible!
My heart goes out to Japan….I hope that the nuclear issues are resolved soon…no one is concerned that they were ill-run, AFAIK, it seems that there is always something worse than we can plan for!
The most heart-wrenching photo for me was of a tiny boy being scanned by a man in hazmat, for radiation exposure.

What a beautiful tribute. I spent 2 1/5 years in Japan, it is one of my heart homes, and my heart is aching so for those there.

You made me cry. I was incredibly lucky and, at the last minute, was given tickets to see the Kodo drummers when they were here just last month. That pretty much made me cry, too. What an experience.
