Other Info
| Gagaku（Ancient Japanese Court Music） is a form of Japanese classical music that has been performed at the imperial court, temples and shrines since the Nara and Heian periods. This kogai depicts the gagaku instruments, the biwa and ryuteki, with delicate grace and elegance. The ornate work, which makes extensive use of gold, is thought to be a work of Kaga metalwork. |
