Japan Festival 2007 - The performances
Posted: Wed May 23, 2007 12:14 amOnly managed to catch a few performances, missed out on the Kimono contest 
George Kamikawa - winner of the Tamworth Busking championship. Melbournians might recognise him - he is usually playing in Burke St Mall.
Taiko
There's more to Taiko than just bashing drums in rhythm. If there's one thing the Japanese know how to do, it's to turn something potentially mundane into an artform by exaggerating the poses, etc. Was half expecting this guy to do the splits to drum!
