Hui = A Community

Hui is a word from the Hawaiian language. As a noun, hui refers to a club or collective of like-minded individuals with common interests. As a verb, hui means to pool resources towards a common goal.

The mission of TaikoVentures is to revolutionize the Taiko Economy.

The TaikoVentures Hui is an organization that supports Taiko Vocationists, the hard-working individuals who make their living perpetuating the art of Taiko (Japanese Drumming). This site is a gathering place for Hui Members to interact with each other, participate in live events, and enjoy exclusive digital content like world-class concerts, archive footage, documentaries, and original TaikoVentures programming.

All proceeds from this platform are used to support Taiko Vocationists with some of the basic protections normally afforded by traditional employment (a regular W2 paycheck, health insurance, life insurance, and access to a retirement plan). Hui funds also help improve business processes for Vocationists by taking care of the administrative tasks necessary do their jobs (e.g. contracts, invoices, travel arrangements, reimbursements). Vocationist services and Hui member perks will be added as our pool of resources expands.

Hui Membership is $10/month or $100/year. You may unsubscribe at any time.

Tax-deductible donations to TaikoVentures may also be made via our fiscal sponsor Jun Daiko, a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in Mountain View, CA. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO

World-Class Concerts

TaikoVentures, through our network of Vocationists, has obtained exclusive access to premiere concerts featuring artists from across the globe. Each month, one of these concerts is selected and excerpts are shown at a free online Watch Party. After the Watch Party, Hui members have exclusive access to concert in its entirety.

TaikoVentures pledges to provide artists a place to safely store their digital content while continuing to provide a way for the public to access their work.

TaikoVentures Originals

TaikoVentures Originals highlight the diverse voices within the taiko community. Original programming includes Pau Hana, an informal gathering where taiko vocationists from different generations share their stories and experiences, and Taiko Trade Talks, a series of long-form interviews focusing on the personal and financial aspects of pursuing a career in taiko.

TaikoVentures Originals are designed to give a glimpse into the lives and journeys of taiko vocationists, with more original programming to be added.

Special Events

TaikoVentures periodically sponsors events in the taiko community. In exchange, some event organizers have allowed TaikoVentures to livestream their events and make the recordings available for Hui members.

Classics & Documentaries

We source documentaries and vintage footage from the history of North American taiko and beyond. TaikoVentures pledges to provide artists and content creators a place to safely store their digital content while continuing to provide a way for the public to access their work.
