Tsuru-min Taiko - A Tsuru for Solidarity Gathering
Tsuru-min Taiko will be a gathering of 100+ taiko players and drums in Washington, DC on June 6, 2020 as one element of the National Pilgrimage to Close the Camps, now being organized by Tsuru for Solidarity (TFS). Taiko players from around the country will line the march route down The Mall at pre-selected stations to provide inspiration and encouragement to the marchers (similar to stations along a marathon), culminating in a rally and presentation of 125,000 Tsuru either at the White House or the Washington Monument, with taiko playing at the site to unite and arouse those attending and to serve notice to those in power that we must #StopRepeatingHistory.
