Outside Japan it is perhaps best known from the drumming groups Ondekoza and Kodo, who appear dressed in only a white fundoshi and a head band.
Even though PJ had never had any prior instruction of taiko before, under training from groups such as Ondekoza, Kodo, Warabi-za, and Oedo Sukeroku, PJ went on to become a leading taiko artist and teacher.
TaikOz's performances contain traditional pieces passed on from groups such as Ondekoza and performers such as Eitetsu Hayashi, more modern pieces also developed by Japanese groups,as well as pieces the group has developed on their own.
