Taiko drums in Himakajima – Gokuu

I experienced some really good and fresh Taiko drum music today by Gokuu based in Himakajima small island off the Chita Peninsula.  They mix dancing with the traditional drumming and are all young.   I will be doing a proper posting with more information about them and the places I visited today in the near future.

The girl below (shes not on the website and I didn’t get her name unfortunately)  was dancing and moving perfect for photos.
