I have a pair of Asano Odaiko bachi with this kanji on them:

Can somebody help me read this? The first two look like "taiko", then "no 里" (taiko's town?). The middle one in the circle looks kind of like "Asano" (the company name means "prayer"?). The right two, I have no clue -- too stylish for my untrained eye!
Thanks!
