Osuwa Taiko - Osuwa Taiko

Japanese: お諏訪太鼓 - おすわだいこ
Osuwa Taiko - Osuwa Taiko

In folk performing arts, in addition to those used in kabuki music, there are a wide variety of drums, and although their names are not uniform, they are often simply called "taiko." Folk performing arts known for their combinations of various drums include the "Osuwa taiko" in Nagano Prefecture, the "Ondeko" in Sado, Niigata Prefecture, and "taiko dances" in various regions. Unique examples include the "paranku," a tambourine-like one-sided drum used in Okinawa, and a type of "zenidaiko" used in Aomori's "enburi," but the term "zenidaiko" also includes things that are not recognized as taiko drums.

*Some of the terminology used in reference to "Osuwa Taiko" is listed below.
