Name: Charlotte Nakamura Hometown: San Francisco

The world, like a person grows every single day. Our society has grown immensely from times before whether it be our technological advances or laws in our judicial system. Because change has increased over the course of time, our definition of peace changes with it. We all have different opinions on what our perfect world may be, however change is inevitable and our ideas may shift. My ideal world is a place where peace is found with what the world provides in the present and to trust that change will bring us more in the future. This way we will not be searching for peace but finding it instead.

A great, very energetic performance by the San Francisco Taiko Dojo led by Grand Master Seiichi Tanaka, at the Nihonmachi Street Fair in Japantown, including Japanese Lion Dance (shishi-mai 獅子舞), starting at 24:18.

I couldn’t really see trying to edit this down into any sort of condensed "highlights", so here’s the entire 42-minute performance unedited for you to watch or skim as you like... enjoy!
