About

Icho Daiko was founded in September 2003 by Dr. and Mrs. Roy and Aiko Ebihara of Oberlin, Ohio. The group was named after the ginkgo trees that line Oberlin's Main Street.

The group builds its own drums, including shime, chudaiko and okedo drums.

Our mission is to strengthen Asian American communities by instilling pride and cultural awareness, and to build bridges between Asian Americans and other groups through the dynamic cultural expression of taiko.
