On October 26, 2025, Emperor Naruhito and his daughter, Princess Aiko, attended the Autumn Gagaku (traditional Japanese court music) concert performed by the Music Department of the Imperial Household Agency at the Imperial Palace. They listened attentively to the elegant sounds of traditional instruments such as the wagon (Japanese harp) and hichiriki (double-reed flute), played by musicians dressed in traditional garments, and offered their applause.
The performance featured the ancient Japanese dance Kume-mai and continental-style bugaku dances. Gagaku is a form of Japanese classical music that has been performed at the imperial court since the Heian period (794–1185). It was designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property by the Japanese government in 1955.
