Ensō Daiko was founded as Mu Daiko in 1997 by Rick Shiomi. New Artistic Director, Jennifer Weir, renamed it Ensō Daiko in 2017, when TaikoArts Midwest took over the taiko program formerly supported by Theater Mu.
A symbol in Zen Buddhism and Japanese calligraphy, ensō has many meanings:
- circle of togetherness
- strength, elegance, enlightenment
- the moment when the mind is free to let the body create
- the acceptance of imperfection as perfect
- the void or “mu”
