HONO TAIKO is a group of three women who play an extra-large ODAIKO with a diameter of more than 1.5 meter. Because of the sheer size of the ODAIKO, it requires both physical strength and a high degree of performing skill. As with all percussion instruments, rhythm is an essential element. However, in the case of TAIKO, the visual effects are considered equally important. The audience expect a performance to be a drama, demanding both the physical and emotional expressive powers of the performers. HONG TAIKO provides a powerful new feminine image in the world of TAIKO.
