I've played taiko since childhood and was thrilled to find a local group after moving to Maine. We rehearse inside a waterfront warehouse where sea urchins and other seafood are processed. The group has been around since the mid-2000s and has lineage back to the San Francisco Taiko Dojo, the first taiko group in North America.Photos from Taiko Maine Dojo, a community group I joined in 2024.
