"Taiko" (たいこ), a shorter version of "Wadaiko"(和太鼓) is a type of traditional Japanese drums.
Today we took a charter to Chion-In Wajun Kaikan for a lesson in playing Japanese drums. We had an amazing sensei who was energetic, fun and a little crazy. (lol)
We've learned multiple measures and rhythms commonly used during the Gion Matsuri. Some of us were musically challenged--but we made it!
I've learned from one of the Japanese buddies on campus that the Japanese term for "selfie" is "jidori"!~ (じどり)
