Return to Asia project

『蘭陵王』"Ranryo-oh"

by a dancer of Beijing Dance academy(2008)

↑『迦陵頻』"Karyobin"

by dancers of Hangzhou Normal University(2009)

↓『納曾利』"Nasori"

by dancer of Korean National University of Arts(2009)

  　Gagaku was born in each place in Asia. Then it was transmitted by Buddhist monk, students: envoy to the Tang Dynasty, visit person from Korea and China.

  　For example, "Ranryo-oh"(蘭陵王), was made from the existed king of Northern Ch'I(北斉), when he took the field, the covered his beautiful face with dignified mask. And he won to the big army. People praised his success and made his music and dance.

​

 　 "Karyo-bin"(迦陵頻) is a heavens bird which has human's face in the Buddhist Scriptures. At the completion of the Jeta's temple, Karyobinga came from  the heaven and danced to the music played by Saraavati(妙音天).We can see Karyobinga at the fresco in the Tunhuang cave temple (敦煌莫高窟). These performances were brought by Buttetsu(仏哲):Cham's Buddhist monk. in the Nara period. Now we Japanese can perform these music and dances, however, almost all the origin countries lost their original performances. 

 

​

  　We want to find these roots and return Gagaku to Asian people again. So now we are teaching Chinese and Korean people Japanese Gagaku and studying with researchers in Asian countries.
