Details
This event offers a unique opportunity to enjoy Gagaku, a musical tradition passed down through the ages in Japan. The performance includes both instrumental music (Gankyo) and dance (Bugaku). You will appreciate the distinct sounds produced by the sho (a mouth organ), hichiriki (a double-reed instrument), and ryuteki (a transverse flute), along with the vibrant dances performed in elaborate costumes. This performance is highly recommended even for those who are not familiar with Gagaku.
