TAIKO BASE Maps Japan’s Taiko Events
A nationwide map and event directory for Japanese taiko performances, bon-dance gatherings, workshops, and related festivals.
Field notes
TAIKO BASE combines a nationwide event index with a map-oriented browsing interface. Its visible dataset contains 236 entries, including 23 whose locations are unknown, and the filters separate bon dances, performances, hands-on instruction, and other events. Listings range from neighborhood shrine festivals and free community gatherings to ticketed tours such as 倭-YAMATO and performances by Kodo and DRUM TAO. The lessons and organization sections are marked as under preparation, suggesting the project may expand beyond event discovery.
