Two banners: the one on the left promoting "Earth Celebration", the annual summer music festival on Sado Island, the home of Kodo. On the right is their tour banner, "Kodo Luminance, One Earth Tour 2026 Europe". Both banners have images of Kodo drummers and taiko drums.
View of the stage in Tampere Talo before the concert, with about 15 taiko drums of various sizes, and a tam-tam to the side partially hidden from my view. The performers were not on stage at this point.
Curtain call with 14 players, 3 of them wearing fundoshi...
Final curtain call
Saw a performance by #Kodo taiko drumming troupe last weekend. So inspiring. Having an urge to fly to #Japan for half a year (or however long it takes to get some basic taiko training), and come back and form our own #taiko drumming group here in Finland. Anyone wanna join? 🥁
