Eitetsu Hayashi
After 11 years of performing in a group, Eitetsu started performing solo in 1982. In 1984, he debuted at Carnegie Hall as the first Japanese taiko drum soloist and gained international acclaim. In 2000, he performed with the Berlin Philharmonic in Waldbühne, Germany, and overwhelmed an audience of over 20,000. Since then, he has performed with many symphony orchestras and artists of different genres worldwide.
Eitetsu has pioneered the field of traditionally unprecedented taiko solos, including the Odaiko solo techniques and the creation of original techniques using a set of multiple taiko drums. He has developed a new genre of "Taiko Music" to be transmitted from Japan to the world, and is active in Japan and overseas. In 2018, he performed 6 concerts in 4 cities in the Japan-Canada Friendship 90th Anniversary Tour in Canada and in October performed in the official performance of the Japan-France Friendship 160th Anniversary Japan Expo “Japonisum 2018”. This year, he worked for production and recording as a concept video production staff for the “Tokyo 2020 NIPPON Festival”.
Eitetsu contributes to a large number of large-scale dispatches for introducing Japanese drum music and culture for each International Friendship and Exchange Year for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Relations Foundation, and the Agency for Cultural Affairs.
He has authored many publications, including the newly refurbished version of "Ashitano Taiko Uchie" (Hatori Shoten), autobiography "Taiko Hizuki-Dokuso no Kiseki" (Kodansha), and many other articles in journals and magazines. He has received the 1997 Minister of Education Prize for Arts and Culture, the 2001 Japan Traditional Culture Promotion Award, and the 2017 Matsuo Entertainment Awards.

Song Title："ARAUCÁRIA - of Curitiba"
(Curitiba, Brazil)
"The composition is about a very typical and regional tree in the south of Brazil, called Araucária. I made this tribute to the tree, once I liked this strong and peculiar tree, which can survive Curitiba City's crazy temperature variation on the same day, where it rains, warms up, cools down...Even with these big changes, an Araucaria can keep standing upright and beautifully."
Composed by : J. Saemi Murakami

各講座紹介 ：
【東北の芸能：鹿踊】 講師：小岩秀太郎
東京鹿踊（とうきょうししおどり）TOKYO SHISHI-ODORI
「東京鹿踊」は、2013 年 6 月、首都圏在住の岩手県一関市舞川地区の出身者（行山流舞川鹿子躍伝承者）と、郷土芸能のポテンシャルを信じる有志を中心に結成。300 年受け継がれてきた東北の芸能「鹿踊」を、国際都市東京で「今」をいきるものたちが踊る。 この活動は、鹿踊を通して、２つの地域／過去と未来／人と人を繋ぎつつ、芸能が存在してきた意義と、日本の芸能の未来・可能性を探るプロジェクトである。 多国籍・多世代・多分野にも対応したワークショップや、芸能風土を旅する体験・場づくり・モノづくりをプロデュースしつつ、芸能を通した地域や人との継続的な関わり方や魅力発信に挑戦している。

【祭囃子】 講師：増田勝明・宮岸良英
神輿囃子(お囃子)は、投げ合い、投げやりともいわれる江戸祭りばやしの曲中の一部です。祭礼の時の神輿渡御に伴い演奏されます。今回、締め太鼓の基本フレーズを主にレクチャーしていきます。お祭りの中でのお囃子は時にお神輿が近づいていることを知らせ、時にはテンポを上げて担ぎ手を盛り上げ、巡行に寄り添い演奏されます。お神輿をあげる時、下ろす時など様々なシーンの解説も交えて進めていきます。

【助六太鼓ＷＳ】 講師：今泉豊
日本三大太鼓の一つといわれる助六太鼓は、1968年東京の文京区に於いて日本初の和太鼓プロ集団として発足しました。江戸から伝わる歌舞伎、長唄などを研鑽し、東京の盆太鼓スタイルであった斜め台による打法を、初めて創作和太鼓に取り入れ構成されたのが助六太鼓です。江戸の祭り情緒を思わせる粋で勇壮な楽曲、踊るように打ちこむ打芸は「助六流」という独自の演奏形態を築きあげました。
今回のワークショップは、助六流の真骨頂、原点であるである斜め打ちでの盆太鼓講座となります。
多数の武道やスポーツの動きを元にし、和太鼓の音色を追求するロジカルな助六流の打法を体験して頂きます。
