Taiko

Our trip included visiting the Miyamoto Taiko (Drum) Store in Asakusa and a demonstration of taiko playing on some of their taiko, the first two pictures below.. I played in Seattle Kokon Taiko for about 11 years, shown in the other photos below. (BTW, none of these are my photos; click on the grid photos for a larger slide show).
