A taiko drum was discovered at a Buddhist temple in Nuuanu which dated back to the Honouliuli internment camp in WWII. Many members of the Japanese Cultural Society and prominent Japanese religious figures returned to the site of the camp to have a special Obon ceremony to commemorate the taiko drum and bring a message of peace.
