It's said that "Aoki is the home of peasant revolts and evening showers."
This alludes to the frequent revolts that took place throughout the history of Aoki village.
In Aoki village, the ancestors who were executed for defending their village are called "gimin" (meaning "righteous people"), and the culture of drumming in honor of their bravery (Gimin Taiko) has been passed down for generations.
You can see Gimin Taiko at concerts held by the preservation society and at sightseeing events around the village.
You can hear the powerful sound of the taiko drums at 1:50 in the video.
