Since our beginning in 1990, Fushu Daiko has practiced joyously in the pursuit of ever increasing mastery of taiko drumming, understanding, and appreciation in the way of taiko, Japanese culture, and all of life.

Fushu Daiko is made up of many nationalities and backgrounds, yet we have been drawn together by the taiko. Through it's sound Fushu Daiko wishes to create a sense of connection in the hearts of those who hear the taiko's beat.

The training began with Sensei Yoshiko Cane and Sensei Charles Cane. Then, with generous help from Grandmaster Sensei Seiichi Tanaka of San Francisco Taiko Dojo, Sensei Takemasa Ishikura of Orlando Matsuriza, and Sensei Etsuo Hongo from Los Angeles Matsuri, Fushu Daiko has become powerful and spirited performers in the art of Japanese Taiko Drumming.

Based in South Florida we are available for performances of all scales. Taiko Drum Lessons, Educational Workshops, Corporate Events, Weddings, Grand Openings, Private Parties, Festivals, Concerts, and Multi Ethnic Collaborations. Our performance lends power and impact to any gathering.

Memorable Quotes....

"Your music, which blends martial arts and the skill of drumming, has delighted South Florida audiences and provided a powerful and unforgettable sample of Japanese art. You have clearly succeeded in increasing the interest of Floridians about Japan, and your contributions have been instrumental in building greater understanding and strengthening the bonds that bridge both our peoples." - Consul General of Japan - Hideaki Asahi

"They added dancers and fused other elements, like movement, while still keeping a formal concert format. It's all about being in harmony with the elements...It's a wonderful sensation." - Sun Sentinal

"The only taiko group in South Florida, Fushu Daiko has enthraled audiences around the world with its skillful drumming, discipline and power." - Morikami Museum

"They are called Fushu Daiko and they beat their drums in perfect unison, pounding and rattling a fierce rhythm that became almost mesmerizing. Exploding through the muggy air, the sound was loud enough to wake the dead - which was the point!!!" - The Palm Beach Post
