Discover Nikkei Taiko Database

The Discover Nikkei Taiko Database was originally developed in conjunction with the Big Drum: Taiko in the United States exhibition. The goal of this database is to compile a comprehensive repository of information representing the depth and diversity of contemporary taiko. The database has been designed to enable taiko ensembles to record and continually update their organizational histories and missions in their own words and through their own images. Visitors to the site may search the database by name, date, region, and several other characteristics.
