Junior Victoria Tsou has been involved in the art of Japanese drumming, known as taiko, for over half her life. She learns from Grandmaster Tanaka who brought his knowledge from Japan to the United States to start a Taiko school called San Francisco Taiko Dojo. There, Tsou’s passion for taiko grows as she rehearses with her group for upcoming performances and finds enjoyment in immersing herself in a different culture.
