Taiko Drummer Under Lantern Light in Kyoto in at a public square during a festival in Higashiyama, Kyoto

Taiko Drummer Under Lantern Light in Kyoto

by Gilbert Forbes

Vivid orange glow from paper lanterns spills across the face of a taiko drummer poised in a tight close-up. Rain beads on the lacquered drum surface and slicks the performer's forehead, catching the light in sharp highlights. Behind the musician, a towering stack of black amplifiers stands against the blurred backdrop of a stone-paved public square in Higashiyama. The drummer's right hand is raised mid-stroke, muscles tensed, while the left hand grips the drumstick handle. Droplets of water rest on the rim of the drum and the edges of the wooden sticks. The scene is framed tightly to isolate the performer and the instrument from the surrounding festival crowd.
