*''Japanese'': 鞨鼓 ''(kakko)''
The ''kakko'' is an ancient or classical style of drum, introduced to Japan from China in the 7th century, and prominent in ''[[gagaku]]'' (the music of the Imperial Court, particularly of the [[Nara period|Nara]] and [[Heian period]]s) and ''tôgaku'' (Chinese music), in which plays a key role in setting and maintaining the rhythm for the ensemble.
It is played with a pair of thin drumsticks, while seated in a kneeling position, and is occasionally used in [[kabuki]] to evoke the sound or atmosphere of the Imperial Court.
