●Kyushu University Japanese Traditional Music Club

We are a Kyushu University-recognized club dedicated to performing Japanese traditional music.

What is "Hogaku"?
"Hogaku" is a general term for Japanese traditional music. It encompasses genres such as Gagaku (court music), Noh music, Koto music, and Minyo (folk songs).

At the Kyushu University Hogaku Club, we specifically focus our practice on instrumental performances using the koto, sangen (shamisen), and shakuhachi.

What is "Gagaku"?
"Gagaku" refers to traditional Japanese court music.

It includes Kangen (instrumental music of East Asian origin), Bugaku (dance accompanied by Kangen), Kayo (songs composed during the Heian period), and Kuniburi-no-utamai (mythological songs and dances handed down from ancient Japan).

The Kyushu University Hogaku Club performs only Kangen. Kangen utilizes three types of wind instruments (hichiriki, ryuteki, and sho), three types of percussion instruments (taiko, kakko, and shoko), and two types of string instruments (gakuso and biwa).

●Fukuoka UniversityWadaiko Club

With a membership of 100 students, the Fukuoka University Wadaiko (Japanese drum) Club performs at various venues, including regular concerts.

You can enjoy energetic performances that capture the spirited nature of the students.

What is “Wadaiko” ?
Wadaiko, also known as taiko, are traditional Japanese drums. They are played with wooden sticks called bachi, creating powerful sounds and energetic rhythms. Wadaiko performances combine music with dynamic movements, offering an exciting experience for both the eyes and ears.
