 Diane perfecting her mischievous stage look. Matt getting his groove on…or maybe his tabi…or perhaps both. One thing that made Kokyo especially festive–the addition of Cat on fue and Joy on chappa. The New Snuggie Spokesperson!
For the second year […]  Just over a week ago, Odaiko New England founding member Karen Young and advanced student Shane Tysk left Boston and flew to Japan to take part in a two week residency with Shidara.
