About Taiko
Legend has it that taiko drumming began when an ancient shinto deity danced on top of an empty sake barrel to entice the sun goddess.
Archeologists believe that it was imported from China in the early 6th century. Whatever its origins, taiko has been an important part of Japanese culture for thousands of years.

Coming in many shapes and sizes, taiko drums have had a variety of functions throughout history. Once an important military tool, they were used to communicate, motivate troops and even intimidate. They often act as theater accompaniments, creating everything from dramatic tension to peaceful tempo in kabuki and kagura performances. And their importance in Japan's religions is undeniable, often serving as part of rituals and festivals.

Over time taiko has become an important symbol of Japan and its traditional culture. Many people have formed large taiko groups, like the one featured in our program, to create awe-inspiring, unique performances out of an ancient art that just keeps evolving.

About the program?
In this program, after watching a professional performance by our taiko instructors, guests are taught the fundamental steps to Japanese taiko drumming. After a dynamic practice session, participants are then treated to a Q&A session with the professionals, before taking part in a group perofrmance of their own.
