<holidayfyi-glossary slug="taiko-drumming"></holidayfyi-glossary>A Japanese percussive art form featuring large barrel drums played with great physical power and precision, historically used in religious ceremonies, festivals, and to signal events in battle and agriculture. Taiko ensembles (kumidaiko) perform at summer matsuri, New Year celebrations, and Obon festivals. The modern art form was revived in the 1950s and has become a global performance phenomenon.
