San Jose Taiko performance was the highlight of the San Jose Obon on July 12-13 2025.

The group used a large open space to perform and entertain a large and very enthusiastic audience both days.

The outside venue perfectly showed their performance energy, ability, and skill.

Taiko is a happy and joyous activity that can bring people together.

Special thanks to the San Jose Buddhist Betsuin and San Jose Taiko

The Obon Festival is a time when Japanese-American people return to their communities and honor the deceased. According the Buddhist Church, the Obon Festival is called Kangi-e, the gathering of joy. Obon for many is considered a homecoming because it is a time when people return to their hometowns to see family and friends, dance, play games, and eat.
