Shimokuji Onidaiko Workshop

 Shimokuji Onidaiko Workshop

Onidaiko, which literally translates as “demon drumming,” is one of Sado Island’s iconic traditional performing arts. It’s an auspicious demon deity dance set to the beat of a taiko drum. This year’s workshop focuses on the style upheld in Shimokuji in Sado’s Ryotsu Area. We hope you’ll give this powerful dance a go!
