Dating from the Nara (645 - 710) and Heian (794 - 1185) periods, Gagaku is a stately, formal music performed by an orchestra conisting of wind, reed, string and percussion instruments. Most notable, and giving Gagaku its characteristic sound, are the hichiriki, a double-reed instrument (somewhat like an oboe) with a nasal sound which is used to carry the melody, and the sho, which consists of 17 reed pipes and provides the harmony.

The "gagaku" (refined, elegant, or correct music) style is an amalgam of various court musics from India, China, and Korea, from as long as 1500 years ago. Because of the continued support, Gagaku music may be heard today much as it sounded a millennia ago. Included are classics such as "Etenraku" (music of divinity), the masterpiece, "Manzairaku," for the majestic dance of four persons in bird costumes, the sword dance "Embu," and "Hassen," the music of the crane dances. Also here is the dragon dance "Nasori"; "Goshoraku,".
