A tsuzumi (tsoo zoo mee) (鼓) is a Japanese hourglass-shaped drum that was originally taught with fox skin. Introduced from India in the 13th century, the name is derived from Sanskrit. This drum is played with the tips of the fingers over the shoulder, and it produces a distinct "pon" sound. The tsuzumi plays roles in both Noh and Kabuki theater music. When played with its bigger counterpart, the Otsuzumi (O tsoo zoo mee), the tsuzumi is referred to as the Kotsuzumi (Ko tsoo zoo mee), or "small tsuzumi." The Otsuzumi is simultaneously known as the Okawa (O kah wah). It looks very much like the Tsuzumi, except that the Okawa is played on the side instead of on the shoulder, and it produces a higher, sharper sound.

Word of Mouth is called kuchikomi in Japan. We'll write word-of-mouth marketing and TSUZUMI MODEL. TSUZUMI means a Japanese hour-glass-shaped　drum. Moreover, We'll write case studies of word of mouth marketing in Japan.
