Comments

Japan Original Pressing.

Raw, hypnotic and incredibly physical — eight regional Japanese drumming traditions captured in all their thunderous, ritualistic power.

Far more than a traditional-music document, Nihon no Taiko is a stunning study in rhythm, repetition and raw acoustic power. From the relentless pulse of Chichibu Yataibayashi and the thunderous Osuwadaiko to Wajima’s dramatic Gojinjyodaiko, each performance reveals a completely different rhythmic language.

Massive low-end drums, tightly interlocking patterns and sudden shifts in dynamics make this surprisingly close in spirit to minimal, experimental and percussion-driven music. Primitive, hypnotic and intensely physical — Japanese traditional music that hits far beyond its genre.

About the Condition

Grade	Description
S (Sealed)	Still sealed in factory wrap. Never played.
M (Mint)	Perfect condition. Looks unplayed with no signs of use. Typically used for records that are brand new or opened but never played.

G+ (Good Plus)	Heavily used. Significant wear or scratches, but still playable.

+ / − may be added to indicate slight variations (e.g. VG+, EX−).

We visually inspect every record, and we clean each one before shipping (play-testing when needed). Even new or great-looking vinyl—especially some Japanese pressings—can have light background noise. We grade carefully by eye and ear, but it’s still a human call, so please check the notes before buying.
