'Japanese Musical Instrument'

To play, must have 2 membranes which are nailed or laced and stuck with sticks. This 'Odaiko'(big drum), need physical energy and sheer excitement of an Odaiko performance is an intergal part of many Japanese 'Matsuri' (festivals). Each year, Kodo host Earth Celebration, a festival of taiko drumming, international music and performance art in their home base on Sado island. Many people come to Japan to enjoy this festival and is certainly a highlight of the Japanese cultural calendar.
