A man from New Hampshire has made history by taking part in a centuries-old tradition in a small Japanese town. The Tanigumi Dance is an important tradition and part of Japan's cultural heritage. For the first time in its 800-year history, someone who is not from Japan was invited to join. In the dance, Matt Croasdale, 38, wore a massive, colorful bamboo fan that represents the wing of a phoenix and carried a large taiko drum.
