History

Our amateur group, Nagisa Taiko, has been performing Taiko (Japanese traditional drum) since 1990. We began with just a few members; however, we have grown to our present size due to the support of friends and the citizens of Nagisa New Town where we reside. Our devotion to this musical form has earned us the respect of the local townspeople and we are invited to participate in many events as following representative example.
