The Jinlei Kurinuki O-daiko is crafted from a hollowed-out solid wood drum shell, with its interior intricately carved into a unique tortoise shell pattern. This design not only enhances the drum’s structural beauty but also breathes life into its sound. With each strike, the sound waves interact and interlace within the tortoise shell pattern, creating a deep, resonant, and powerful auditory experience.
In the making of this O-daiko, our artisans dedicate immense effort and time, meticulously carving within the vast drum shell to achieve perfection in every detail. This process is not only a test of skill but also a pursuit of traditional craftsmanship and sonic aesthetics at their finest. Through this Kurinuki drum, you can feel the artistic ingenuity of our craftsmen and experience the profound, layered resonance born from the interaction of sound waves.
