Choshoji Temple

Ichinoseki City

Southern Iwate

    The drum in the main hall of Chosho-ji Temple was created during the Ichinoseki domain era by Takeaki Tamura, who asked Rojuku Abe Bungonokami to grant him permission to play the ``Taiko of Time'', which was previously restricted to the Imperial Palace, the Shogunate, and the three major families. At that time, it was envied by the neighborhood and was even described in songs as ``too much for Ichinoseki''. Currently, the second-generation drum is on display at the Shinkansen Ichinoseki Station concourse.
