Japanese Classical Performance

Japanese Classical Performance is a genre of traditional Japanese music that dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868). It is characterized by its use of traditional instruments such as the shamisen, koto, and shakuhachi, as well as its use of traditional vocal styles. The music is often slow and meditative, and is often used in traditional ceremonies and rituals. It is also used in modern contexts, such as in film soundtracks and video games.
