Business Overview
Although gagaku is a traditional Japanese art with a history of more than 1000 years, it is a genre with extremely few opportunities to listen to it compared to other Japanese and Western music. Therefore, they hold introductory gagaku performances for children and those who listen to gagaku for the first time as independent performances open to the public in order to increase the number of people who are interested in gagaku, increase the number of people who appreciate gagaku, and spread gagaku. In addition to introducing the instruments of Gagaku and appreciating the representative Kangen and Bugaku works of Gagaku, the contents are participatory, such as singing 'Shoka' (song for learning Gagaku) with all the visitors and touching the actual instruments.
