This tune was brought to us from Japan by our sensei, Esther Vandecar. While I am uncertain of its origins, I have seen an older performance video of an all-women's group playing it. Our adaptation varies from theirs in that we move around the drums and play each drum individually, whereas they play together and separately on different drums and dance in a circle while doing so. The taiko group from Phoenix, Aozora, also instructed by Esther Vandecar, plays the tune in that style.
