We " The School of TAIKO" had founded by Ringtaro Tateishi who is professional Taiko drummer.

He is former member of ONDEKOZA, world renowned Japanese Taiko team.
From 1989 to 2000, he was in the group as their artistic director.
And after he left, he had instrudted to the member of ONDEKOZA  and performed with them until 2002.
In his team life, he visited over 26 countries and held over 1,000 performances.
He also participated in their "U.S.A. Running Tour".....over 3 year period, while running the perimeter of the United States: about 20-30 miles a day, performed 356 times at lacations all over the country, including four concerts at CARNEGIE HALL.
And he did same challenge at China , also.

Through these invaluable days , he hope strongly to put his experiences to good account ,like....for popularization of Japanese culture , the good growth of the children and more with settling at another country. ( Not as a traveler! )

Because,he believe that it will help for mutual understanding ,which in turn is good for making peaceful world. Music has mighty power to affecting human mind and spirit, and also it is able to become common language!

One of our mission is ... give a chance to know Japan and make the place to do self-study with Taiko world!

And most important thing is  ...... TAIKO IS VERY FUN!!!!
