Gagaku Imperial Court Musicians - Gagaku, literally “elegant music’ is that of Japan’s imperial court. Since gagaku has always been associated with the imperial court and not popularized for ordinary people, it has remained the same for centuries. Gagaku was performed at court banquets and sacred rituals and rites at temples and shrines as it is today. Gagaku has been inscribed as a UNESCO intangible heritage of Japan.
