Planet Earth: Japan | The Ancient Art of Taiko Drumming | Java Documentary

Naoto Kinoshita is the youngest member of this group living in the community. The Ondekoza percussionists are internationally well-known for their talent but also for their athletic conditions.
The members of Ondekoza follow a particular life code, the Soga Kuron, a philosophy that combines music and running. Indeed their concerts are real performances that require the same physical and
mental effort as a marathon.
Japan is a land of extremes. Situated on the Pacific “Ring of Fire”, this archipelago still bears the scars of a tumultuous birth. This living, volcanic land thrust up from the ocean depths. Its tormented Nature brought forth masterpieces and has swallowed up numerous enigmas. First of all, we will go to Yonaguni, little island of 29 square km in the westernmost part of Japan.
