Fushu Daiko
Founded in 1990, Fushu Daiko is a South Florida based, taiko drumming ensemble, delighting and energizing the South Florida community through dynamic performances, concerts and workshops. And continually enriching our community by teaching the art of taiko.
We have traveled to and performed in Germany, Brazil, New York City, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, San Francisco, Seattle, and during the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington D.C.
Fushu Daiko’s founders, Yoshiko and Charles Cane, were a couple who practiced traditional Japanese dance and theater. After seeing a taiko performance at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach, the Canes began building taiko drums at their home in Plantation, FL and training with taiko masters Seiichi Tanaka, founder of San Francisco Taiko Dojo and Takemasa Ishikura, founder of Matsuriza and Orlando Taiko Dojo.
Our founding members always envisioned Fushu Daiko as a not-for-profit cultural arts organization, serving the community through performances and educational outreach. In 2011, Japan Arts Inc. was created to ensure their vision was realized. By being a not-for-profit, we apply for grants, and receive donations that assist us in providing community outreach workshops, performances, and school educational programs.
