Japanese Music of the Edo Period 

I really don’t understand the self doubt underrated artists are some of the best

Then it'll really please you to know what I've watched so much Kabuki that I don't even need to know what the actors are saying to know the story. I love Japanese arts, they're so unique, and always very refined and beautiful.

Music is the universal language

As a Sikh I love Japan what a grt country is Japan totally on different level 👏 👌🏻 😳

I love Japan

I’ve been into Japanese culture for awhile and want to move there someday and I love to hear that you are happy we are into this culture You did great on your English😉

Your choice of words in English is perfectly good, and grammar is perfectly correct. I think Japanese culture has been very popular around the world because of original and elegant beauty, and more so nowadays because it is a real living tradition and not just a reconstruction or a re-enactment. In Poland, where I was raised, I was always told that Japan is a culture to look up to. A more advanced civilisation, because of how much have you achieved in terms of science and technology, how advanced reliable is any machine you make and how modern and well looked after your cities are. I asked my English friends about it, and they said the same. Also, the worldwide popularity of the Katana and Samurai, and the living tradition of arts such as Iaido, Kendo and Kenjutsu is what I think has helped Europeans to rediscover their historical swordsmanship, since only sports fencing had been practiced for decades, but now with HEMA we are rediscovering our own heritage. It is especially true for my country, where because of difficult history, our own swordsmanship went extinct already back in XIXth century, and after the war our blacksmiths were not allowed to make swords anymore, so the tradition and art of making good sabres died. However later on, some of our people who now make best sabres, or practice Historical European swordsmanship, actually started from trying to make replicas of Katana or practicing Kendo, and that helped them to rediscover and return to their own national tradition, that is to making sabres and learning how to use them in traditional way. That is something with have to thank Japan for. I am concerned however, that Japanese people still work so much. You have already achieved prosperity and advancement. Many people think that many issues Japanese society has, comes from the fact that you work so much, you simply don't have time to get on with your lives as individuals. We would like Japanese culture to flourish for centuries to come, and we believe it would help it if Japanese people had more time to enjoy their lives outside from work.

American here, no offense taken. I love this music very much, thank you!

i love Japanese girls more lol , but hey i love anything related to Japan accept for the part when Japan colonized China and they bullied and humiliated them for about 8 years , other than that is good

Perfect english

So, do you purchase used panties from street vending machines?

This is more than simple enjoyment.

@@azuma_ayame yes japanese culture is loved

You guys should go back to the good old days

Most of us are on acid

What a beautiful and profound comment.😍 🙏

samurai fighting games have this exact same music with forest, river and wild scenarios :D (for exemple samurai shodown)

just play river and forest ambience on other YT tabs, set your AC to auto for full immersion haha

u can watch some edo period movies,anime,jdrama and montage of provinces of japan

i learned this a long time ago from mr. brian eno and it works really fine... :-)

You should watch anime and read manga too.

@@WarriorOfTheLostLand maybe I'll try it, when I have some time. Thank you for the suggestion!

Sorry but at this time in europa we had more developed music. Even the middle -ages music of europa was more developed than this.

@@Mr55330 well, that’s silly. You’re just full of eurocentric standards of culture, so it’s obvious that youre going to hold such a bias. The universe doesnt revolved around “europa.”

@@letshuman8985 Yes .But i am a musician and i tell you that sound like somebody who is not misicant play on the mandolin.I am not against the Japan art but this on this Video is stuped.

As a non-Japanese person, this is absolutely mesmerizing to me. I also wish I was born Japanese and envy yall lucky boys lol

Beauty and Love ( with majuscule L) are always related and cannot help but overflow, break borders, and reach hearts wherever they are. I also have had the privilege to hear such beautiful sounds for many years since living in Japan.

Its the meditational effect. I was intrudiced to this by a Korean Gayagum player. It is really powerful.

even if i'm not japanese i like this kind of music very much i would like to know how to play shamisen

Good music requires more than ears. You dont listen to traditional folk music, you feel them. I love traditional asian melodies and instruntments as a Turkish

No one cares what race you are

We wuz samurais

Это был прямо знак свыше)

Praying for me to come to Japan do it now pray the stranger it's heard onigaishimasu

@@sanadasanada2643 ok

"Unique culture"... The Japanese always say that word to talk about themselves. Every country has a "unique" culture. That's ridiculous.

@@Leopold_van_Aubel This gentleman said “I have lived in Japan” and is learning a different culture. Your comment should be directed to someone else. And I disagree with you saying “The Japanese always say” (where?) most Japanese don’t even speak English, sir.

@@Leopold_van_Aubel ??? someone explain me what did he want to say

japanese people are very racist

@@Turk1881 なぜ あなたは 日本のことを 差別するのですか？

@@kitsune9076 who is「he」?

​​@@kitsune9076 @Turk1881(Eren Turk) said “Japanese people are very racist”

確かにJ-POPやクラシック音楽を和楽器でカヴァーした演奏のビデオが圧倒的に目立ちますが、 本来の古典純邦楽曲を聴ける演奏ビデオも、その気になって探せばたくさんありますよ😮 むしろ雅楽のビデオの方が少ないほどです。私は雅楽は好きですけど。

You’ll be a very drunk man haha

@@hhhghhhhhhhhhwhat about kratos

Uhh.. your knowledge of european classical music is fairly limited if you think it only means loud crash and bangs and trumpets.. try not to bring down another style of music down just to lift another one

@@cornelia7889 bro I'm european and I listen to our classical music all the time cos I love it. I know it's not all loud clashes and bangs, I was just jokingly using hyperbole to exaggerate how different it sounds to japanese traditional music. I love both, they just sound very different

@@hi-ve1cw bad joke lol

To me I love them both equally because both are beautiful and nostalgic! I love "European" classical music because of the epic orchestral themes, and I love Japanese music because of the rhythms and "beats"! ;-) -Alankuhaa Samuelkah Fischum Eircaru

"European" I think I found a federalist. Just say the country you're from no need to bring down the continent or the EU.

wow, didn't know this had so many likes... Here I am again., listening to this masterpiece! ❤

Sounds like Carnatic music Kalyani raga.

I wish that the Japanese were more accepting of non Japanese. Lafcadio Hern lived in Japan for many years, he was Creole and so as such appreciated Japan. He wrote many things about the culture, he was never quite accepted. He wrote all those ghost stories that were made into a film. I love the music of Noh drama and the shrine music. It's related to the culture of China of the 900s by feeling, oh the Tang. It's not derivative but in line with it. I'd love to see Sotoba Kamachi,"Kamachi At The Stupa " a ghost or demon play maybe. Author Wayley translated it. Oh Kwaidan was the name of the film

they listen to it but dont feel it ! i do !

لا إلاه إلا الله No God except Allah

go for it !

GO! Do not delay, leave today!

黒人アメリカ人として、私は日本が大好きで、いつか日本に行ってたくさんの日本文化を見てみたいと思っています。

日本を好きになってくれてありがとう🙏 いつか必ず日本に遊びにきてね❤

@@deo7320 日本の素晴らしさを目の当たりにし、たくさんの人と出会うのが待ちきれません。

この犬野郎, speak by yourself, pois eu sendo estrangeiro entendo bem a alma japonesa but none with a dog spirit like your can understand the Japanese soul.

I think many countries in Asia would disagree lmfao

@@andieallison6792 Very true. The scars of the war run deep across Asia, particularly in China and South Korea. In the former case, it's being channeled by the CCCP as part of the national myth. It's more or less become their Great Patriotic War, but combined with a layer of ethnic animosity that was much less pronounced in the Soviet narrative (both countries were subject to similar crimes and atrocities, but the CCCP is much more ethnically nationalist in its orientation than was the USSR). As for the Koreans, it goes deeper. Any people subject to a half century of imperialism and cultural genocide aren't going to forgive easily. And, like the Japanese themselves, Koreans are an intensely proud and nationalistic people whose culture results in a particular proneness to experiencing searing national trauma. I get why they hate the Japanese, and obviously acknowledge just how inexcusable Japan's wartime conduct was. But, as an American, my worldview can only give these concerns so much weight. What I see presently is an Asia that's the CCCP's playground. By militarily neutering Japan, the Anglo-American leadership basically created a reality in which no regional force would be able to check Chinese expansionism. Currently, India is holding its own in South Asia, but the rest of the region is more or less free for China to do as it pleases, with no adversary on its side of the Pacific capable of countering its ambitions. The only feasible means of countering CCCP imperialism I see involves a re-armed and rising Japan. Yes, the Japanese themselves seem hesitant to take on this responsibility, but I feel that they'll eventually realize it to be a necessary precondition for their own defense. Certainly, the US is becoming too burdened to carry the overwhelming majority of that weight alone; let's be honest, we're a superpower, but one that is vastly over-extended. As for the Koreans, though they'll loathe to admit it, history will force them to the realization that, in virtually every substantive factor, their interests are identical to the Japanese (and Taiwanese, but that's another conversation.) At the end of the day, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is an iron law of international relations. It brought Churchill and Stalin together, it's currently bringing the Israelis and a variety of Sunni monarchies together (even despite the war), and , mark my words, it will absolutely bring the Japanese and the South Koreans together, in spite of it all.

thats a nice haiku 😤

If you do buy one of their cars, for the love of christ don't put one of those idiotic loud coffee can exhausts on it that make it sound like a broken leaf blower. That shit went out 2 decades ago and I still have to laugh at the dbag kid down the street who farts around the neighborhood in his 100hp shitbox with a wing and racing seats like he's trying revive the Fast n Furious era he missed out on. Those were dark times and they're behind us, let's leave them there. Save your money and get an EVO, a WRX, or a Skyline/GTR and then leave the exhaust alone, they sound good stock. No need to make $35k+ car sound like a $2k POS. Cool? Ok, good talk.
