- Shomyo (Japanese Buddhist Chant) of Chishakuin Temple
- Shōmyō is the music that has long been performed at traditional Japanese Buddhist ceremonies. With many of its elements serving as the foundation for other Japanese traditional performing arts, it is one of thw oldest music genres, likened to Gregorian chant in Western classical music.
- Normally, you can only hear the Shōmyō at temples, but this time you can enjoy it casually as part of a concert.
- There is an explanation in the first half, so even those who are hearing about Shōmyō for the first time can enjoy it with ease.
- We provide you an unusual experience.
