Odaiko Performance in Andover Odaiko New England taiko ("big drum") ensemble on the road in Andover, Massachusetts at Phillips Academy's Cochran Chapel. Featuring superb selections from Odaiko's repertoire, this outstanding kumi daiko ("group drumming") performance had high energy, smooth orchestration and active choreography. Their best I've seen yet, and really fun!

Hakubi Kyoto Kimono School An extraordinary fashion show of modern and classic kimonos. The Hakubi School is one of the largest and most prestigious kimono schools in Japan. Those of us fortunate enough to attend this presentation were treated to fascinating demonstrations. These included kimono model make-up application, as well as the very involved process of wearing the twelve-layered court kimono (junihitoe), attire rarely seen even by the Japanese. MIT's Kresge Little Theater, Cambridge, MA - 1999-03-23
