Zuiho Taiko is a Japanese drum group whose members have developmental disabilities. The group rouses the hearts of audiences with its mighty sound. "no art, no life" introduces artists from across Japan for whom expression is not a choice, but a compulsion. Not influenced by existing art or trends, nor by education, these artists and their works are gaining worldwide recognition. Devoted to creation, not for anyone else or even for themselves, they have a powerful presence. This episode features Zuiho Taiko in Nagasaki Prefecture. Filming their performance in the practice hall, the program attempts to capture their unique form of expression.
