Gagaku
Gagaku is a type of Japanese classical music that has been performed at the Imperial Court in Kyoto for several centuries. It consists of three primary repertoires: ⁕Native Shinto religious music and folk songs and dance, called kuniburi no utamai ⁕A Goguryeo and Manchurian form, called komagaku ⁕A Chinese and South Asia form, called tōgaku. Gagaku, like shōmyō, employs the yo scale, a pentatonic scale with ascending intervals of two, three, two, two, and three semitones between the five scale tones.
