The Soul and Sound Born in Japan
Wagakki have been nurtured through a long history of Japan and Japanese people.
What will you have in mind when you think of Japaneseness - Washoku (Japanese traditional dishes), Zen Buddhism, Bonsai trees or Ukiyoe (Japanese woodblock prints)?
“Made in Japan” qualities, in other words, strong commitments of Japanese people to create the one and only product from Japanese animation programs to buildings with extremely honed techniques, have been attracting many people in the world.
A sense of an extra effort is slightly added to the beautiful appearance, rich flavor and scent of Washoku, and an extraordinarily simplified expression of Bonsai trees still has both static and dynamic impression.
In particular, a culture of Wagakki has been carefully nurtured for more than 1,200 years so that a lot of people have got interested in its sound in various ways such as not only traditional kabuki or local festivals but also modern pop music.
Koto
Koto was propagated from China to Japan in Nara Era.
In Kamakura Era, it became more common among ordinary people and was spread widely by monks.
Shamisen
In Muromachi Era, Shamisen was brought from China into Ryukyu, former Okinawa. In Ryukyu, it was originally called “Sanshin”, which was spread nationwide as “Shamisen” later.
Taiko
Taiko has been played in local festivals or Kabuki from the era of ancient Japan.
It is quite simply consisted of a cylindrical shell and skins one above and one below.
