Mission Accomplished
The Taiko Drummers respond to the applause as they finish a number. While they did bow later, I think thie outstretched arms was a signal the thunder was over.

Sensei
The man in black appeared to be the teacher, because he glanced to both sides and back as he danced and everyone looked to him for thier cues. He's also the only one not smiling in any of the photos!

Dancing With the Clouds
Its true; the best things in life are free! The smiles on the faces of the dancers, the lively music and the beautiful weather made for an exceptional Golden Week opening ceremony.

Short to Tall
The dancers came in all sizes and shapes. They probably ranged from four to forty in age.

High Gear
The music blared from speakers and a loud roll came from the big Taiko Drums whipping the dancers into a frenzy.

Festivity
Some people take a nap at noon, not this lively group! For those who would doubt the time of day, check out how short the shadows are!

Taiko Drummers
The loud beat of these drums could easily be heard a mile away. The vivid colors of the dancers really stood out against the clear blue sky.

Formal Bow
The most formal bow is performed by the Eisa Dancers at the conclusion of the ceremony. They bow on one knee, lay down their instruments, display outstretched palms and bow their heads to the audience.

Get With It !
The boy in this photo looks as if he's trying to get things coordinated by giving the girl on the right the evil eye.

A young, fast moving dancer's motion is frozen against a blue and white sky.

I am an old dude learning digital photography. I love shooting wildlife pictures but cant get close enough with the camera I can afford. Canons or Nikons with 300mm or more lens don't exactly fall in your lap. Hey, Santa wishes for stuff, too !
