Our 2nd workshop of the year was held at @terasaki.budokan in Little Tokyo. We were so happy and excited to meet new faces who were eager to learn the koto, shamisen, and shakuhachi. We also had returning participants who got to try an instrument they did not get to during our first workshop! We played Sakura at the end, and it went really well!🌸 Thank you everyone for coming and learning our music!💖 Also, huge thanks to our volunteers and special thanks to @eastsideartsinitiative , @jflalc , and @lacountyarts @countyofla for giving us this opportunity to introduce Japanese arts and culture to the local community. 🔥Production team!!🔥 Koto: @_jeremyturner @kotokozue Shamisen: @yoshii.808 @comfortably_unknown Shakuhachi: @cole.playsforyou @shoshiwatanabe MC: @sarahquon Volunteer: @kristiequon @dana_eklund , Michael #三十三絃の会 taken in Terasaki Budokan - Little Tokyo Service Center by @33strings_
