Description

This vintage Japanese Wa Taiko drum is a remarkable example of traditional musical craftsmanship. The body of the drum is made from Keyaki wood (Zelkova), a material prized for its strength and rich grain, which enhances the acoustic resonance of the instrument. Its surfaces are adorned with detailed calligraphy, including the dedication "奉纳 笠间稻荷大明神," indicating its ceremonial use as an offering to the Kasama Inari Daimyojin, a revered Shinto deity.

The inscription includes the date corresponding to Kōki 2601 (1941 in the Gregorian calendar), marking the drum’s historical significance during this period. Another detail highlights its creator, "铁井太郎吉" (Tetsui Tarokichi), who crafted it in his Asakusa store, a district in Tokyo renowned for its vibrant cultural and artistic heritage.

This Taiko drum is both a visual and functional work of art, combining ceremonial purpose, traditional design, and the enduring craftsmanship of Japanese heritage. Perfect for collectors, musicians, or as a striking decorative piece, it embodies the spirit of Japan's cultural past.
