In the spirit of celebrating the 90th Anniversary of Canada-Japan Diplomatic relations in 2018, the Japan Foundation presented Eitetsu Hayashi: Japanese TAIKO Drum Concert Tour with Eitetsu FU-UN no KAI. Japan’s premier solo taiko drummer, Eitetsu Hayashi, embarked on a tour across Canada.
The legendary musician toured together with his ensemble of young drummers, the FU-UN no KAI ensemble, with concerts taking place in Calgary, Vancouver, Ottawa and Toronto. The sound of the taiko knows no boundaries, and without a doubt, resonated with Canadian audiences across the country. The Eitetsu Hayashi: Japanese TAIKO Drum Concert Tour with Eitetsu FU-UN no KAI gave people in Canada a rare chance to experience the musical creativity of an artist at the forefront of taiko drumming in Japan.
