Taiko


Taiko are drums from Japan which have been around for a few centuries. The taiko group from Shinnyo-en usually leads off the the Lantern Floating Hawai‘i Festival, and their first number sounds like a huge rock band drum solo.

I got this shot during the dress rehearsal the night before the big event, as the sun was setting.

Beautiful! I love how you can see all of their arms in profile, just about to strike the drums.
