Japanese Music


Howdy! I was wondering if I could get about 10 or so recommendations on Japanese music... Taiko, Koto, Shakuhachi, etc. I'm really looking for "traditional" style music, nothing "new age"-ish, if you know what I mean.

Thanks!!

There are recordings of traditional Japanese melodies by various flutists like Jean-Pierre Rampal and James Galway which are very pleasant to listen to. Some recordings are with other instruments including Japanese instruments. Even a western flute will sound like a similar Japanese instrument.

Try Googling various combinations of flute, japan, japanese, melodies, melody, etc. Also Rampal and Galway.
