This is a special performance by the taiko performing arts group Kodo, based on Sado Island in Niigata Prefecture, to commemorate their 45th anniversary. They are known worldwide as a group that attempts to re-create the sound of traditional taiko as a modern musical art form based on their own unique sensibilities. In this performance, the group will take the audience on a journey into a new world of taiko's fascination through the solid techniques they have accumulated over the years and their overwhelming performance of rhythm with their whole body. The powerful yet delicate tones of the taiko are imbued with the soul of the performer, creating an atmosphere so realistic that the entire hall seems to vibrate. Respectful of tradition, yet always in pursuit of unlimited possibilities, their stage performances are sure to deeply move everyone, from first-timers to longtime fans.
