【BGM】DAIMYO ー 大名行列 | The Lord's Procession to Edo — Powerful Japanese Taiko (2 Hours)

2 hours of powerful Japanese taiko for a feudal lord's procession — a lacquered palanquin on the Tokaido road, footmen tossing feathered spears high in the air, hundreds of samurai in step, villagers kneeling at the roadside and Mount Fuji watching the whole way. Steady, proud, marching drums from dawn at the castle gate to lanterns at the inn. For working with energy, training, walking and long focused sessions. No repeats, no loops, one continuous two-hour set. The rabbit is at the very front as the lead spear-man and has thrown the spear higher every time, because the crowd keeps watching. The frog is riding on the roof of the palanquin with a small drum, which is absolutely not allowed, and nobody has said anything yet. 🏯 About daimyo processions: in the Edo period every feudal lord had to travel to the shogun's capital and back on a fixed schedule, with hundreds or even thousands of retainers. Townspeople knelt as the procession passed, and the spear-throwing footmen at the front were part of the show — the bigger the throw, the grander the lord. 🐰Artwork inspired by Chōjū-giga, Japan's 12th-century scrolls of frolicking animals — often called the world's oldest manga. 🎵Original music, made with care for this channel. 🔔 A new Ink & Rain video every day — subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/@inkandrainze... === Tracklist === 0:00:00 Dawn at the Castle Gate 0:02:36 The Palanquin Is Lifted 0:04:41 Spears Raised 0:08:12 The First Step 0:11:11 Out Onto the Tokaido 0:15:01 Shita ni, Shita ni 0:16:57 Villagers Kneel 0:19:10 The Rabbit Throws the Spear 0:21:30 Caught Again 0:23:23 Feathers in the Wind 0:25:41 The Frog on the Roof 0:27:55 Small Drum, Steady Beat 0:29:39 Pine Trees Along the Road 0:31:42 Bearers Change Shoulders 0:33:50 Dust Behind Us 0:35:52 Fuji Appears 0:40:18 Crossing the River 0:43:37 The Long Bridge 0:47:11 Banners Stream Back 0:50:53 A Post Town 0:53:03 Tea Houses Close Their Shutters 0:53:56 Every Head Down 0:56:02 The Lord Says Nothing 0:58:04 Through the Town Gate 0:59:56 Afternoon on the Highway 1:02:17 The Spear Goes Higher 1:03:38 The Frog Has Not Missed a Beat 1:05:31 Pass Over the Hills 1:07:59 Wind From the Sea 1:09:04 Fuji Closer Now 1:10:44 Lanterns Lit for Evening 1:14:34 Torches at the Front 1:18:01 The Rhythm Slows 1:22:11 Faster Again 1:25:26 A Second Wind 1:28:20 Hundreds of Feet 1:31:50 The Inn Is in Sight 1:35:04 Arrival 1:38:22 Palanquin Set Down 1:41:04 Spears Lowered 1:44:49 The Rabbit Sits at Last 1:47:19 Drum Put Away 1:47:41 Stars Over Fuji 1:50:47 The Road Is Quiet 1:52:48 Sleep at the Honjin 1:55:13 Tomorrow, Another Day's Walk 1:56:03 Morning Mist 1:58:13 The Procession Moves On
