Sake-fuelled Sunday sounds

A sunny spring Sunday.

Some sake.

And the sensational sight and sound of a super-sized drum.

Japanese festival taiko

Hi Lee,

Very nice black & white image! I can almost hear the conversation of people who are involved with the ohdaiko. I wonder what the man who is standing to the right is thinking.

Thanks Yasukostyle. He may have just been wondering when his turn was going to be, as the fella doing the drumming didn’t seem to want to give up his place!

I had the chance to watch a wadaiko group perform last weekend (Wadaiko Yamato) and the sound those drums make resonate deep within. I’d love to have a go at it myself. :)
