Martial Law in Wartime Hawai ‘i - August 17 Speaking to an overflow audience, Greg Robinson and Tom Coffman, two noted historians joined together on August 17 for an informative and provocative discussion of the nearly forgotten history of martial law in Hawai‘i during World War II.

Edo Sato Kagura Talk & Demonstration - August 24 Kyosuke Suzuki, one of Japan’s leading Edo Sato Kagura (festival & shrine music), along with Kenny Endo Taiko and members of the Taiko Arts Center performed before an enthusiastic audience on August 24.

Recent studies such as Eric Porter’s What is this Thing Called Jazz? have begun to document these musicians’ struggles to articulate their aesthetic philosophies, to support and educate their communities, to create new audiences, and to establish economic and cultural capital. Through studying these histories, we see new dimensions of these artists’ creativity and resourcefulness, and we also gain a richer understanding of the music. Both their larger goals and the forces working against them—most notably the powerful legacies of systemic racism—all come into sharper focus. As Porter’s book makes clear, African American musicians were active on these multiple fronts throughout the entire century. Yet during the 1960s, bolstered by the Civil Rights

  • In North America
    Shifting Identities of Taiko Music in North America }ibshitaka Zerada National Museum of Ethnology Many Japanese communities in North America hold a Bon (or O- bon) festival every summer, when the spirit of the deceased is summoned to the world ofthe living fbr entertainment of dance and music.i At such festivals, one often encounters a group of energetic and smiling perfbrmers playing various types of drums in tightly choreographed movements. The roaring sound of drums resembles `rolling thunder' and the joyous energy emanating from perfbrmers is captivating. The music they play is known as taiko, and approximately 150 groups are actively engaged in performing this music in North America today.2 This paper aims to provide a brief overview of the development of taiko music and to analyze the relationship between taiko music and the construction of identity among Asians in North America. 71aiko is a Japanese term that refers in its broadest sense to drums in general. In order to distinguish them from those of foreign origin, Japanese drums are often referred to as wadaiko, literally meaning `Japanese drum'. Although the roots ofwadaiko music may be traced to the drum and flute ensembles that accompanied Shinto rituals, agricultural rites, and Bon festivals in Japan for centuries, wadaiko has come to mean a new drumming style that developed after World War II out of the music played by such ensembles. North American taiko is based largely on this post-War wadaiko muslc, contrary to lts anclent lmage. Madaiko music is distinguished from previous drumming traditions in Japan by a style of communal playing known as kumidaiko, involving a multiple number of drummers and a set of taiko drums in various shapes and sizes.

Dietrich School of Arts & Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2013 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Dietrich School of Arts & Sciences This dissertation was presented by Benjamin Pachter It was defended on April 8, 2013 and approved by Adriana Helbig Brenda Jordan Andrew Weintraub Deborah Wong Dissertation Advisor: Bell Yung ii Copyright © by Benjamin Pachter 2013 iii Wadaiko in Japan and the United States: The Intercultural History of a Musical Genre Benjamin Pachter, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2013 This dissertation is a musical history of wadaiko, a genre that emerged in the mid-1950s featuring Japanese taiko drums as the main instruments. Through the analysis of compositions and performances by artists in Japan and the United States, I reveal how Japanese musical forms like hōgaku and matsuri-bayashi have been melded with non-Japanese styles such as jazz. I also demonstrate how the art form first appeared as performed by large ensembles, but later developed into a wide variety of other modes of performance that included small ensembles and soloists. Additionally, I discuss the spread of wadaiko from Japan to the United States, examining the effect of interactions between artists in the two countries on the creation of repertoire; in this way, I reveal how a musical genre develops in an intercultural environment.

I argue that the potential in taiko for slippage between the Asian and the Asian American body is both problematic and on-going , and that the body of the taiko player is gendered and racialized in complex ways .

[email protected] INTRODUCTION It is now more important than ever to acknowledge the need for art education. The materials in this study guide are designed to give your class supplementary infor- mation and activities to enhance the student’s appreciation of the TAIKOPROJECT while instilling a broader base of knowledge and understanding of our society’s diversity through different cultural perspectives. America is a country of widespread cultural diversity. Music, and drumming, is a part of every culture, and its function in each culture is integral to its life and vitality. What is an African dance without the drummers? What would Irish music sound like without the dohbran (hand drum)? And what is a Japanese matsuri (festival) without the taiko? Much can be learned about different cultural traditions and lifestyles by experiencing its music. The TAIKOPROJECT performs contemporary Japanese American taiko drum- ming. It is an artform drawn from our Japanese ancestry, but nurtured in America by multi-generational Asian Americans in search of a voice for their dual-culture identity. Through the sharing of our music and stories, we share our pride in our heritage and culture, and encourage others to have pride in and explore their own cultural back- grounds, and those of others.
