Togaku

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tōgaku (kanji: 唐樂; literally "Tang Dynasty music") is the Japanese pronunciation of an early style of music and dance from the Tang Dynasty in China. Tōgaku was introduced into Japanese culture from China no earlier than the 8th century.

Tōgaku's equivalent in Korea (also introduced from China) is called dangak.
