Taiko

As I was coming home one evening, a friend and I came across a Taiko performance near the main train station.  Taiko is a traditional musical form using drums.  It's a very lively and very ceremonial musical performance.  The pictures I took weren't my best, but I got a few that gives a peek at it.

A shot from above the group.  During the performance, they change positions and instruments.

In the middle of playing, they all displayed a special, very complicated dance.  Amazingly, even the young girl in the front right line could do it flawlessly.

Another act in the performance.
