Hogaku has the literal translation of the music of one's homeland. This Japanese traditional music is best described in imperial court music and chants in Buddhist music and folk songs. However, it was weakened when Western music was introduced to Japan. However, in recent times, some younger musicians have been opening live music houses dedicated to Hogaku to empower it again. Music competitions featuring traditional musical instruments are also held.
