Get to know more about sound of Japan 🌸🌸🌸 :
CLASSICAL JAPANESE MUSIC
Historically, Japanese folk music was strongly influenced by music from China, with some of its forms being imported from China more than a thousand years ago. Many popular Japanese musical instruments originated in China and were then adapted to meet local needs.
TRADITIONAL JAPANESE MUSIC
Traditional Japanese music usually refers to Japan's historical folk music. Two forms are recognised as the oldest forms - shōmyō, or Buddhist chanting, and gagaku, or theatrical court music.
Shōmyō is a ritual music sung in a Buddhist ceremony by a group of Buddhist monks - literally translated, the word 'shōmyō' combines the characters for 'voice' and 'wisdom'.
Gagaku is the oldest of Japan's musical traditions and includes dances and songs in two styles - kigaku, which is instrumental music, and seigaku, a form of vocal music.
There are several Japanese dramatic forms in which music plays a significant role. The main ones are kabuki and noh. Kabuki is known for its highly stylised dancing and singing, together with its elaborate make-up (sported by a predominantly male cast).
Noh is a form of classical Japanese musical drama which has been performed since the 14th century. Noh is often based on tales from traditional literature, with a supernatural being transformed into human form as a hero narrating the story - usually involving a mask being worn.
Noh has been dubbed 'Japanese opera' and is a 'chanted drama', but the singing is dependent on a limited tonal range. The music has many blank spaces (ma) between the sounds; the negative blank spaces are in fact considered to be the heart of the music.
The accompaniment is provided by a hayashi ensemble of three drummers and a flautist.
INSTRUMENTAL JAPANESE MUSIC
Traditional Japanese music is meditative in character, with highly ritualised performance - sharing much in common with martial arts, and other Japanese art forms such as the tea ceremony and calligraphy. The music often looks to represent natural sounds, and the sounds of life, through percussion, wind and stringed instruments.
An interesting feature of classical Japanese music is its sparse rhythm and absence of regular chords. All of the rhythms are 'ma'-based and silence is an important part of the songs.
