HIROO ASANUMA
Asanuma-sensei was born in 1947 on Hachijo Kojima, one of the outlying islands of Hachijo. Influenced by his father who was an expert in the Hachijodaiko style of drumming, he was exposed to taiko from an early age. After years as an active member of a taiko group on the island, he decided to go solo to broaden his expression and truly make the taiko a central part of his life. His unique drumming style evokes a broad range of emotions from joy to nostalgia, and its unique sound has earned Mr Asanuma fans around the world. He is a master of both of the traditional forms of Hachijo and is also well versed in contemporary drumming styles. Hachijodaiko is popular all over Japan but relatively few people have had the opportunity to learn the original form directly from the source. Mr Asanuma is dedicated to making sure people learn and understand it correctly. While remaining an inhabitant of Hachijo Island, he continues to teach and perform on the island, throughout Japan, and even abroad.
