Welcome to the world of Japanese music　

Here you will find a multitude of interesting timbres, unusual shapes, and variety of sounds. The world of Japanese musical instruments is replete with countless colors and diverse timbres. Yet for some reason, the idea of “music” and “musical instrument” has been largely limited to melody, rhythm, and harmony. As a result, the richness of Japanese music has been relegated to the periphery of world music. Such a splendid musical culture cannot be allowed disappear.
