rich tradition of Buddhist chanting), down to the folk songs and fashionable songs of

What is it
“Taiko Drum Festival of Japan”

https://images.app.goo.gl/nWtZbkmgLcoZi8nEA

Drums were used in ancient times to signify the boundaries of a village. Peasant
events such as the rice harvests or dance festivals were celebrated with drums. Drums
were used to pray for rain and other religious ceremonies and to lead warriors into
battles in order to scare off the enemy.

In Japanese Taiko literally means "drum," though the term has also come to refer to
the art of Japanese drumming, also known as kumi-daiko. Taiko has been a part of
the Japanese culture for centuries. The art of kumi-daiko, performance as an
ensemble, originated post-war in Showa 26 in 1951. It was created by Daihachi
Oguchi, and has continued with groups such as Kodo.

Kodo a good example of a professional taiko drumming troupe. They are based in
Sado Island, Japan, and they had a big role in popularizing taiko drumming, both in
Japan and abroad.

Two Meanings of Kodo:

1. Heartbeat the primal source of

all rhythm.
2. Children of the drum, which
reflects the group’s desire to
play the drums with the simple
heart of a child.

performance:

➢ Different drums https://images.app.goo.gl/yy5P6U2p4Esz4BEeA

 ➢ include pieces based on the traditional rhythms of regional Japan, pieces
composed for Kodo by contemporary songwriters, and pieces written by Kodo
members themselves
➢ The Kodo's performances normally last for about one hour and forty minutes.
Costumes and Props:
➢ happi coats over black with white calligraphy.
➢ a baggy-sleeved short cotton jacket, tied with a sash (obi) around the waist. It is
usually a plain color, typically blue
or black, with a symbol printed on
the lapels and on the back
➢ Hachimaki, white headband
➢ Uchite, Taiko drummer, can wear

seafarers and farmers. In Sulu, extensive orchards
are planted with coconut and Pomelo and the field
with stables like rice and root crops. Pomelo fruit
serve as an important source of income of the
people of Sulu. Their dependence on Pomelo fruits
for their livelihood inspired them to create Sua- Ku-
Sua dance.
The movements of the dance compare sua’s gentle
leaves, slender branches, attractive fruits, and fragrant flowers to a lady. During the
performance, the couples sing while flapping two white fans which represent the
leaves rustling in the wind. The performers, especially women, dance with faces

If you want to stop smoking, you can make small changes to your lifestyle that may

• Make a plan to quit smoking

- Make a promise, set a date and stick to it.
- Think ahead to times where it might be difficult (a party, for instance), and plan
your actions and escape routes in advance.
• Make a list of reasons to quit
-Keep reminding yourself why you made the decision to give up. Make a list of the
reasons and read it when you need support.
• Identify when you crave cigarettes
- A craving can last 5 minutes. Before you give up, make a list of 5-minute
strategies.
- For example, you could leave the party for a minute, dance or go to the bar.
• Consider your diet
-Is your after-dinner cigarette your favorite? A US study revealed that some foods,
and including meat, make cigarettes more satisfying. Others, including cheese,
fruit, vegetables, make cigarettes taste terrible. So, swap your usual steak or
burger for a veggie pizza instead.

11
• Change your drink
-The same US study as above also looked at drinks. Fizzy drinks, alcohol, cola, tea
and coffee all make cigarettes taste better. So, when you're out, drink more water
and juice.
• Get some stop smoking support
-If friends or family members want to give up, too, suggest to them that you give up
together.
• Get moving
-A review of scientific studies has proved exercise, even a 5-minute walk or stretch,
cuts cravings and may help your brain produce anti-craving chemicals.
• Keep your hands and mouth busy
-Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) can double your chances of success.
As well as patches, there are tablets, lozenges, gum and a nasal spray.
-When you're out, try putting your drink in the hand that usually holds a cigarette,
or drink from a straw to keep your mouth busy.
