This is the second video dedicated to musical culture in Japan in the ancient and medieval centuries (the first is here: ).
In this - unfortunately - brief selection by the musicologist Akira Tamba, we will be able to listen to a chronological musical selection that goes from the 6th century to the 16th century.
The first two chants are called "Shômyô": a style of Japanese Buddhist chant used especially in the Tendai and Shingon sects; then it is the turn of the wonderful "Gagaku" music, 雅楽, lit.: "elegant music", played in the courts of Japan in the Heian period (794-1185); finally the most recent musical selections dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries.

Concerning the video: I've use a part of the wonderful "Ippen Shōnin Eden" (一遍 上人 絵 伝,) an illustrated biography of the itinerant monk Ippen. This is a group of "emakimono" or "emaki", painted narrative handscrolls, from the Kamakura period of Japanese history (1185–1333) that describe the life of Ippen (1234–1289), a Buddhist monk who founded the Ji-shū (時宗, "Time sect") branch of Pure Land Buddhism.

I wish you happy listening!
