He hopes that this art form will be able to recreate the origin of the spirit of the Japanese people. In Japan, the taiko drums were used back then as a symbol of the community, and to scare off enemies in battle. Taiko drums were essential because these also dictated the limits of a community by how far the reach of the drum sounds were. In the Tabuchi Theater, you can see 25 taiko drums of different sizes. The largest is called odaiko, whcich was hand crafted by Asano Taiko. The smallest drum is called shime-daiko, having the highest pitch.
