Founded as Gen Taiko in 1995 and incorporated as GenRyu Arts in August 2008, it is deeply rooted in San Francisco’s Japantown and in the Asian American Community. GenRyu Arts engages in art-making that merges Japanese cultural forms taiko, dance and folk songs with new music, spoken word and visual design into singular expressions that honor community heritage and address key issues stemming from the legacy of internment and redevelopment.
