"The break of day". This percussion concert is performed before daybreak in rural districts "to awake the sun". The instruments are do-naga-daiko and shime-daiko. One drummer manipulates both instruments, using a very long and thin drumstick of kawa-tsubaki, camellia japonica. The flute is a recent addition. Recorded at the Susa-shrine on August 2, 1957 |
