The last preparations are made. The Japan-Day will start at once.
Actually it would have taken place on the 28th of May,
but because of the earthquake-tsunami-Fukushima disaster happened this spring,
the event was postponed to the 15th of October.
It is a day where one can learn a little bit more about Japanese culture.
There are concerts and sporting events on this day,
pavilions of different clubs, societies and other institutions are put up at the Rhine promenade,
and the cosplayer community of the whole region meets here.
The next item of our agenda, as you can see already behind us, are the Taiko drums.
I think that Taiko drums are an ideal instrument for children.
They say that it is not very difficult to learn it, and that you can tire yourself out playing these drums.
As you will see at once, the kids have a whale of a time with them, and probably you will have it, too!
And now, applause for the Taiko kids! Thank you!
