SAN FRANCISCO, CA, October, 2016— San Francisco Taiko Dojo, led by
Grandmaster Seiichi Tanaka, is excited to announce the 48th Annual
International Taiko Festival, which will be held at 7 P.M. on November 5th

Bruno, CA.
This is the 48th year that San Francisco Taiko Dojo hosts this world-class taiko concert. The performance will feature San Francisco Taiko Dojo, North America's oldest taiko group, along with special guests and from all over California and Japan: Yasuhide Tanaka from Wakodaiko (Japan), Sacramento Taiko Dan (Sacramento) and Awakko Ren (San Francisco).
