About the
Group


TOKARA is currently a semi-professional group based in
Iida City/Achi Village. However, the group is operated and
members train as in a professional Japanese wadaiko group.

Nearly four years have passed since TOKARA
was created, yet the group has already become well-known
both in Japan and internationally.
Yearly events include two to three international tours
varying in length from ten days to two months each,
as well as many performances and concerts here in Japan.

TOKARA has started on the path to grow into a twelve member strong professional performing group.

Apprentice
Information

After six months of training, apprentices will have the option to
become probationary members of TOKARA.
Only after one year can members audition to be
full members of the professional group, Wadaiko Ensemble TOKARA.

We are looking for people who will make a strong addition to
the group.  While we recommend at least one year of wadaiko or
percussion experience, it is not a requirement.
Anyone interested is encouraged to apply
regardless of age, sex or nationality.
More than anything else, we look for people who will
approach the drum as well as the world around them
with great respect and zeal.
