On Saturday, 24 October 2026, Emperor Naruhito and his daughter, Princess Aiko, attended an autumn Gagaku performance presented by the Music Department of the Imperial Household Agency at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. The musicians performed six pieces, including Etenraku Nokorigaku Sanben, a traditional piece in which the number of instruments gradually decreases as the performance progresses.
Gagaku, traditional Japanese court music performed by the Music Department of the Imperial Household Agency, has been designated an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan and is also inscribed on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list. Princess Aiko has attended every spring and autumn Gagaku performance since autumn 2022.
She is so lucky to have such a wonderful and loving father.
ردحذفC'est un vrai plaisir que de voir l'empereur et Aiko assistant à ce spectacle ; le bleu de la cravate de Naruhito est judicieusement à l'unisson avec la tenue de sa fille !
