We carefully select Ash wood from Hokkaido, Japan, and surrounding regions, a material long revered as one of the finest for crafting Hiradaiko, second only to Keyaki. With its striking natural grain and exceptional durability, Ash wood is widely used in high-end musical instruments and furniture. When hollowed out and shaped into a Hiradaiko, it delivers outstanding sound quality, making it a top choice for traditional taiko drum production.
Hiradaiko crafted from Ash wood is known for its rich resonance and deep, sustained reverberation, producing powerful tones that distinguish it from other taiko drums. The dense structure of the wood enhances its sound projection, while its natural grain adds an elegant visual touch, imparting a sense of tradition and refinement. Owning an Ash wood Hiradaiko is like owning a true piece of Japanese craftsmanship and artistry with its tradition and excellence.
