Listen to your soul
Feel the vibration
Zuiho Taiko
the sound of spirit
Our music
Zuiho Taiko deeply resonates with your soul. Each person who listens to its music gets unique inspiration.
Zuiho Taiko is more than traditional Japanese taiko music.
Zuiho Taiko is one of a kind because its music is created by the players with intellectual disabilities. There are more than 5,000 taiko groups in Japan according to some source on Internet. However, Zuiho Taiko is the only professional group with intellectual disabilities who make their living by creating taiko music.
Their stage is filled with joy. Powerful energy is emitted from their inner beings. You will be inspired whatever you may have on your mind when you listen to it.
