Foyle O-Bon, an organisation that uses Japanese arts and culture as a way of improving community engagement, breaking down barriers and using the arts to improve wellbeing, has released a new film celebrating their recent work in Claudy. Using the art of taiko drumming, Japanese dance, arts, crafts and games, Foyle O-Bon deliver outreach projects in the community throughout the year and also host the annual O-Bon Festival at the Playtrail site.
The film celebrates their cross-community project, YuJo Taiko, which has been running in Claudy, Derry-Londonderry, since 2013. The project uses the power of Taiko drumming to bring young people together to make friends and explore Japanese culture and musicology.
