Join us for a traditional Japanese Taiko drumming performance from GenRyu Arts! GenRyu Arts keeps Japanese American art and culture alive in the heart of San Francisco’s Japantown, and they are bringing taiko to the library! Learn about the history of kumi-daiko and enjoy taiko songs performed with storytelling for an authentic experience of Japanese culture.
If this program sparks your curiosity, check out the rest of the One Book, One Coast series and deepen your engagement by reading They Called Us Enemy—a powerful story bringing Japanese American history to life through the deeply personal narrative at the heart of the series. Check it out in print or starting April 1, when unlimited digital copies of They Called Us Enemy will be available on both the Libby app and Hoopla platforms for San Mateo County Libraries cardholders—no holds or wait times required.
Explore more books and films about the Japanese American history that inspired this event in our One Book, One Coast staff list.
