03/14/2008 Spring Drum Celebration

 

One memorable moment of the eighth Spring Drum Celebration was when the greatest, biggest drum of ours, the odaiko, after several years of „exile”, returned to the stage, beautifully renewed: it could reincarnate first in this short intermezzo that you can see here. It is a huge beast: its diameter reaches one metre, and it requires four strong men to carry. (One of the largest drums in the continent.)
