Beautiful antique Japanese Taiko drum. This item dates to the late Meiji-Period (c.1900), and is in exceptional condition for its considerable vintage. This type of taiko is known as Byou-uchi Daiko. Typical of this style, the body is carved from a solid round of keyaki wood and the heads are nailed to the drum with large hob-nails. Because the heads are fixed, this type of taiko is not tunable. The heads are intact and retain much of their original tautness, though this drum is probably not suitable to be used as an instrument, but rather as a display piece. The drum is quite large for its variety, measuring 18 1/2 inches tall and a bit over 17 inches in diameter at the widest point. It features a heavy cast-iron ring, from which the drum was originally suspended during performance. There are kanji painted on the side, and the wood has developed a beautiful patina.
