From Ken Koshio
Dear Friends and Family,
I’m currently in Japan and will continue doing my best to stay connected with you through Instagram and other social media over the next few months.
As part of Koshio-ryu Taiko-do, we’re offering exciting summer classes in Arizona led by my son Miro, JP, and our amazing new leaders. While they carry the energy in Arizona, I’m here in Japan performing, teaching, and continuing my own learning. This year is especially meaningful as we mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
We must remember why we are here—how we live, who we are, and the purpose behind this life. Every morning, I continue my sunrise prayers here in Japan, 17 hours ahead of Arizona. You can follow along on Instagram and Facebook.
Let’s keep praying for a better future, while honoring the past to understand where we are going.
