These spring performances are described as "Revolutionary New Drumming Entertainment in Tokyo" and are a stunning collaboration of tradition and modernity. Titled Mangekyo, the performances feature an innovative light show that works to compliment the power of the traditional rhythms.

Mangekyo features two 80-minute shows at 3pm and 8pm, offering visitors the chance to experience the past and the future in an exhilarating exhibition of sound and light.
