On October 20, 2024, Japanese Emperor Naruhito and his daughter Princess Aiko attended the Autumn Gagaku Concert, a traditional Japanese imperial court music and dance performance, at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. Gagaku (elegant music) is a type of Japanese classical music that was historically used for imperial court music and dances, Japan's oldest performing art.
Gagaku is performed at several court functions at the Imperial Palace, at State Dinners, and on the occasion of the Spring and Autumn Garden Parties. In 1956, to open Gagaku to a wider cultural audience and broader cross-section of the public, a bi-annual spring and autumn Gagaku recital was instituted by the Music Department of the Imperial Household.
