My finished piece for the San Francisco Taiko Dojo Art Show: Celebrating 50 Years of Taiko in America. You can see it in person at I-Hotel Manilatown Center in SF from September 29 through October 7.
The first time I experienced taiko (Japanese drums) was at a Bon Odori in Japan, so that’s what I decided to illustrate. The dance usually has taiko drummers on top of a platform, and is celebrated in mid-August for Obon.
I hope I depicted the lively and festive atmosphere well. :)
