730 pm YAMATO was founded by Masa Ogawa in 1993 in Nara, the land of Yamato which is said to be the birthplace of Japanese culture. Presently based in Asuka Village, Nara Prefecture, YAMATO travels all over the world, putting its very souls into the unusual instruments, whose sound stirs the hearts of people everywhere. Its performances are infused with the idea that the drumbeat, like the heartbeat, is the very pulse of life. YAMATO brings a new and youthful vigor to Taiko drumming. It is a never to be forgotten experience, inspiring and intensely physical, with a beat resonating from the delicate tapping of falling rain to explosions of rhythmic exhilaration.
