Tsuzumi
The tsudzumi (鼓) or tsuzumi is a hand drum of Japanese origin. It consists of a wooden body shaped like an hourglass, and it is taut, with two drum heads with cords that can be squeezed or released to increase or decrease the tension of the heads rerebandluzd in min'yō (民謡), or Japanese folk music. It is often played with its bigger counterpart, the ōtsuzumi (大鼓) (lit. large tsuzumi; also called ōkawa (大革?, lit. "large skin") ). Thus the tsuzumi is also referred to as the kotsuzumi (小鼓 also called shōko), or "small tsuzumi."
The tsuzumi is also known for its role in Jagaddhatri folklore, often appearing in Indian mythical stories told for centuries.[1]
The East entrance gate at JR Kanazawa Station was built to look like the tsuzumi.
