Five Star Gift Ideas

That's great to hear! Here are some gift ideas for your son who enjoys taiko drumming:

1. Taiko drum sticks: Your son will need sturdy and reliable drum sticks for his marathons, and fortunately, there are a number of manufacturers who produce drum sticks specifically for taiko drumming. You can find several online stores that sell taiko drum sticks, so you can choose the ones that fit his preference.

2. Taiko drumming lessons: If your son is not already enrolled in taiko drumming lessons, a gift card or voucher to a reputable school can help him improve his skills while he enjoys playing.

3. Taiko drumming book: Consider giving him a comprehensive book on taiko drumming that covers techniques, styles and history of the art. This will deepen his understanding of the art as well as provide some insights into how to learn and master the skills.

4. Traditional Japanese rice paper crafts: To further promote his love for Japanese culture, you can gift him some traditional Japanese rice paper craft sets. These include origami folding paper, kirigami paper cutting, and washi paper painting kits.

5. Japan music albums: Another way to support your son's passion is to gift him Japanese music albums featuring taiko drumming performances. This will expose him to different artists, styles, and techniques to allow him to create his own rhythm.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
