Historical Value of Japanese Yaku

The orchestral music of Yagaku is considered to be the world's earliest form of symphonic orchestra, consisting of dance and music, and has been handed down to the present day in its traditional form, which is said to be one of the world's rare traditional performing arts. Although the Japanese yagura was imported, the Chinese yagura has long been extinct, and the Korean yagura has been deformed over a long period of time. On the contrary, only Japan has preserved the yagura, which was organized as a Japanese style at that time, in the court and the Shinto Shrine, and has preserved the original form of the yagura, which is said to be a very rare thing. The reason why it has endured for so long is inseparable from the importance and promotion of successive rulers and the traditions of the Japanese nation.
