Tsuzumi Drum

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Tsuzumi Drum by artist is a traditional Japanese drum. The drum has a cylindrical body with a black lacquered exterior featuring gold and brown designs. The drum's ends are circular and made of wood; one end has a light-brown skin with a darker brown circle and black border adorned with small black floral patterns. Brown cords are wrapped around the drum's body and through holes around the edges of the drumheads. The drum rests on a gray surface against a gray background.
