 watch Simultaiko and are you enjoying the weather? It's beautiful, much for being here with us and the great weather, nice breeze. The piece we just played called the Takinobori. This is to celebrate the year of the dragon. And this is the story, little cop going up the waterfall called the dragon's gate. And if the cop ever succeed to go up the top of the waterfall, that's become into the dragon. And this is to celebrate this year. This year is the dragon year. If you see the t-shirts of Japanese cultural fair, you have the dragon picture. There's a little difference between different dragons. Japanese dragons has three claws. Chinese dragons has four claws. Chinese imperial dragons has five claws. So when you look at the dragon, see how many claws you can find. And then depend on, you can see the nationality of the dragon. Okay, so number three is very important in Japanese culture. Japanese believe in harmonious society as ideal. And number three is the, the third number is a one to harmonize, so balance the both end. So we like number three and we also have the Buddhist belief in past and present and future. And all these different events could happen independently. We, human beings, will connect. And there are many different interpretation of the other different events. So that's how we see our lives. Next piece is called the hiraita hiraita. This is a little flower that grows in a rice field in Japan and then some of our children are going to play inti and Nathan. They are going to be playing with us. Okay, hiraita hiraita. Now next two pieces are played by our children's group, junior group. First one is called right hand, left hand. The second one is called the jumping tiger. The right hand, left hand is, as we just said, just a separation of the right hand and left hand. And sometimes I do workshop with children, with the adult. And I say, let's play with the right hand. And guess adults do they play with the left hand? And I have to tell right hand. And they still bring the left hand. And I said, the other right hand, they put the left hand up. So it's very interesting. You know, our body and then somehow the words sometimes don't connect. And it's hard for the children. And this is their first way to learn separation between right hand, left hand, both hand. And from there, we'll start working crossing, which is a jumping tiger. I teach third grade jumping tiger. I teach in San Jose. And this is one of the curriculum. A lot of crossing work using a rhythm. Because somehow the children's reading, sometimes they have a hard time reading straight line. I think some people say because they don't do the crawling long enough when they are small. And they have a lot of problem now coming up. So rhythm is one of the way to adjust your body. So it's very crucial for children to learn some kind of music or rhythm. And we are very fortunate to be in Santa Cruz County. They really promote art education here. So please support art education in Santa Cruz County. Next piece, right hand, left hand. This is done by Wasamble Junior Group. Wasamble Taiko is a community drumming group. So we have different events and different also classes. We have Taiko for Health just for the seniors class. We have classes at Gray Bear. You don't have to be senior to be in there. But if you're senior, you like to be in this class. We do a lot of rhythm stretching and pounding too. But based on breathing, not really the muscle pounding, but based on the breathing. So it's senior class on Wednesday. We have a youth class on Thursday. It started late, 8.30. Young people like to stay up late. So I don't think it would have problem. So if you are interested in power drumming, come at 8.30. And on Friday, we have all different clubs. Children's classes are on Friday. And beginning classes on Fridays too. Also, we have workshops for children. The next one is coming up from on first, I don't have the date, but first of Sunday. Yeah, if you like to have information, please come to our booth. The last piece we're going to play is called the Kodombayashi. This is for the Children's Festival. And we have Watson Botayko, a junior member, performing with us, Kodombayashi. So if you are interested in power drumming, come at 8.30.
