A Japanese man performs taiko drumming in Little Tokyo, the historic heart of the Japanese American community in downtown Los Angeles, California, USA. Taiko drum playing is loud, hard and fast, and involves choreographed movements which many identify with Japanese martial arts. This drummer's outdoor stage is the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center (JACCC) Plaza that features monumental basalt rock sculptures by world-renowned artist Isamu Noguchi. Entitled "To the Issei," Noguchi sculpted his artwork in 1980 as a tribute to the first generation of Japanese who immigrated to America
