I'd have never thought this is from 1954. Probably speaks to its timelessness more than anything.

[@MsBenlane]

i was a 10 yr old in san diego cal in 54. record stores had world music sections and you could listen to records in the store. i bought angel ravi shankur records and saroud ones and music of turkey and bali and egypt and china and the middle east and japan. there was an exotica section. they usually had a woman with a jewel on her forward, bamboo curtins etc, or martin denny type records. san diego was small then but i assume there was a market or the record store would not have had them. somebody was buying angel records of classical indian music besides me. i see a kimio eto koto records i also had.

This is the same sound they had around 1770 as well. Part of the kabuki tradition is keeping the styling the same as those who came before you.

This is beautiful. Glad I clicked on it after listening to Kimio Eto's koto music. Totally diferent side of traditional Japanese music.

[@CASHXRAT]

Eto's stuff really reminds me of classical European music, it has that relentless shredding to it that Bach and Beethoven have sometimes. THIS shit, though, is like the Jazz of Classical Japanese music. So abstract and trippy, to my American ears at least!

[@MilaNekolita]

same here..

[@ironmaz1]

Take away the delicious "distraction" that is all the wild costuming, outrageous makeup, and dancing and capering that is somehow both elegantly stylized and incredibly wild at the same time... And you get to hear how completely out there the Nipponese classical operatic musical style really was, and still is.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Ghost of Tsushima (will be released in 2020) - are two new games about feudal Japan, samurai, shinobi, big castles and small villages, ancient forests and secret caves.

Just taking a moment to consider the implications of treating a theatrical form born in the middle of the 17th century and which current forms date from the late 19th and early 20th as an ancestral thing coming all the way from the Dark Antiquity.

[@G4LCTC]

I remember when the first bamboo playstations of the edo period, with their remarkably good sound reproduction (for its time), were so controversial because of the effect that new technology was having in music and theatre. The current plastic models have better graphics and faster processors but they just don't have the same sound timbre of those pioneering playstations which only used natural materials. Hearing this takes me back to those early days when after tending the fields all day my lord would be kind enough to let me play with his son's playstation. Good times, good memories.
