📍 GIVING DAY IS TOMORROW - 3/12!! 📍
Visit the link in our bio or search “Yamatai” at givingday.cornell.edu to make a donation starting at 12 AM (Ithaca time)!

Yamatai would not be where we are today without the incredible support of our friends, family, and community. Our group was built through generosity, and we continue to grow and share taiko thanks to the people who believe in what we do.

This year, we once again ask for your support. Your donations help make it possible for us to bring in guest workshop leaders, travel to performances, connect with the wider taiko community, and so much more! Every contribution, no matter the size, truly makes an impact (and is tax-deductible!).

Thank you for supporting Yamatai and helping us keep doing what we love. Happy Giving Day!
