This chapter discusses a little-known Buddhist scripture, the Sutra of the Questions by Druma, King of the Kinnara (Daiju kinnara-ō shomon-gyō), translated into Chinese by Kumārajīva in the early fifth century. This sutra is unique in that it proposes a powerful, and sympathetic, philosophy of music rooted in the Mahayana doctrines of emptiness; it also offers a template for Buddhist rituals involving music and dance that have been performed in Japan since the eighth century as part of the Gagaku and Bugaku repertory.

The article outlines some of the ways in which professional musicians and music virtuosos among the aristocracy conceptualized gagaku and bugaku instrumental music in Buddhist terms between the eleventh and the sixteenth centuries. In addition to providing doctrinal justifications for artistic endeavors, they also contributed to the development of new ritual forms, such as bugaku hōyō and kangen kōshiki. This article explores influential Buddhist canonical ideas about music and shows how they were developed by musicians in medieval Japan.

🎏 Un recorrido por las artes teatrales niponas desde la antigüedad al presente: abarca el nacimiento mítico del teatro, y sus diversas manifestaciones: kagura, gigaku, bugaku —gagaku—, sangaku y sarugaku, entre otros antecedentes del sofisticado teatro nō, que explora también, para luego recrearse en el kabuki, y el teatro de títeres jōruri o bunraku, hasta llegar a tendencias propias de la modernidad —y postmodernidad—, como shimpa, shingeki, angura, la compañía de revista Takarazuka, la danza butō y el teatro contemporáneo.
