IS A SEATTLE-BASED TAIKO DRUMMING ENSEMBLE GROUP
Inochi Taiko performances are not solely about the music; they are a visual spectacle as well.

The synchronization between the drummers embodies a profound sense of unity and harmony, reflecting the essence of teamwork and dedication.
Established in 2003, Inochi Taiko is a Seattle-based taiko drumming ensemble founded by Tyrone Nakawatase, Garrett Nakawatase, and Max Honkawa. “Inochi” translates to “Life” which encapsulates the members’ dedication to the group and art form.
