Artists/Japan
Japanese music joins centuries-old court and theater traditions — gagaku and the music of noh and kabuki — with instruments such as the koto, shamisen, and shakuhachi. Its contemporary scene is equally rich, from taiko ensemble drumming to Japanese musicians celebrated worldwide in classical, jazz, and experimental music.
