“Taiko, Part One”

In "Taiko, Part One," legendary creator Stan Sakai delivers a poignant tale of resilience and tradition as an elderly drum-maker embarks on a sacred mission to craft a monumental taiko drum from a lightning-struck tree, hoping to end a relentless drought. With his art and storytelling as steady as the drum's beat, Sakai crafts a quiet yet gripping story where the fate of a village hangs in the balance, threatened not by nature, but by greed. The cover, also by Sakai, captures the solemn weight of the moment.
