| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
My study targeted the developmental period (1970s through 1990s) of taiko music that emerged in post-war Japan. Research revealed the following five characteristics of the music in that period: 1) With the remarkable spread of taiko music, the later years of the era were identified as the “taiko boom”; 2) the number of female performers increased; 3) the number of taiko craftsman increased; 4) taiko music came to be used therapeutically as conductive education for people with disabilities; and 5) taiko music spread overseas and transnational collaboration grew frequent.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
太鼓音楽は近年、北米のエスニシティ研究やジェンダー研究、心理学等で取り上げられるようになった。しかし、いまだ全体像はみえにくい。その全体像を太鼓音楽史という観点から明確にする本研究は、大衆音楽史、戦後社会史に貢献できるものである。また太鼓を中心に大衆レベルでのグローカルな繋がりを提示する本研究は、過去と現在を知り、未来を考えるための重要な資料として社会的に意義のあるものである。
