Portland Taiko Benefit Banquet Posters and Postcards
Since 2006, Portland Taiko has held their annual spring fundraiser at Wong‘s King Seafood Restaurant, with performances, a live auction, and a multi-course Chinese dinner. The design using the bachi (drumsticks) and chopsticks was first used in 2008, and has been used many times since then.
