Description

This comprehensive handbook explores Japanese music from the late nineteenth century to the present day, tracing how cultural transformation has reshaped the nation's musical landscape. The twenty-five chapters examine the recontextualization of traditional genres alongside the widespread adoption of Western practices, from classical music to hip hop. Contributors present detailed case studies across four thematic pillars: Foundations, Heritage, Institutions, and Hybridity. Topics span hybridized Buddhist music, AI singers, and the complex interplay between Japan's rich musical traditions and contemporary global influences. Ideal for scholars, musicians, and anyone seeking deep insight into how Japan's modern era has fundamentally altered its musical identity and created new forms of artistic expression.
