The free interpretation of its teachings by individual Shinto priests was discouraged. | | | Shinto of this nature was called State Shinto and came under the control of the Bureau of Shrines in the Ministry of Home Affairs. |

| | The book opens with a brisk and eloquent history of Japan's musical life, then moves on to its religious music, Shinto, Buddhist, and Christian; its court music; the music of the noh drama; and the music of specific instruments: biwa, shakuhachi, koto, and shamisen. | | | Among his publications are Nagauta: The Heart of Kabuki Music (1963); Music Cultures of the Pacific, the Near East, and Asia (1966); Six Hidden Views of Japanese Music (1986); and--a joint effort--Theater as Music (1990), in which one act of a bunraku puppet play is examined. | | | When William Malm published his wide-ranging study of traditional Japanese music in 1959, it was the first time in the twentieth century that such a work had been brought out in a Western language. |

| | The drum is an instrument that dates back to prehistory; developing out of ancient agricultural rites and the music of Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples, the beat of the taiko resounds throughout Japanese culture, summoning gods and ancestor’s spirits to ritual entertainments and festivals, driving away evil forces, and giving strength and courage to warriors. | | | The group’s varied repertoire includes traditional compositions from the Shinto music tradition, pieces adapted from existing taiko compositions and original compositions/arrangements by members of Soh Daiko. | | | But in the past 50 years, the word taiko has come to represent a new tradition of mass drumming that has spread across the globe to become a vibrant, contemporary performing art. |
