Details
This event offers a unique opportunity to enjoy Gagaku, a traditional Japanese court music passed down for a long time. The performance features unique sounds from instruments such as the sho (mouth organ), hichiriki (double-reed instrument), and ryuteki (transverse flute). In addition to the instrumental music, the ensemble will perform the 'Kishunraku' dance, which has not been presented in 12 years. This is a recommended experience even for those unfamiliar with Gagaku. A daytime performance with the same content is also available starting at 14:00.
