Samurai Taiko (a.k.a. Tsuji Daiko) is a traditional Japanese taiko drumming troupe, which upholds the Samurai warrior tradition directed by 11th Generation Grand Master Tsuji Chuemon. This prestigious title originated with Grand Master Lord Oda Nobunaga. Highly recognized as a multitalented educator, composer, master martial artist, professional musician and multi-instrumentalist, Grand Master Tsuji has created a most exciting high energy, mesmerizing samurai style drumming performance that merges his soulful musical talents, extraordinary martial arts skills and deep knowledge carried through generations of his family for 500 years. He has presented over 4,000 performances and demonstrations internationally, as well as for many well-known figures such as U.S. President Clinton, Governor Romney and President Mandela.
The Samurai Taiko Show is colorfully decorated with Japanese banners and various taiko drums, including a 5 ft diameter jumbo drum which stands 11 ft high, and other Japanese instruments. The show contains various styles of original compositions and traditional Japanese music, based on historical events and nature. It’s extremely powerful, very spiritual, and great fun for all ages.
