Traditional Music

On more than one occasion I have attended a festival in which traditional Japanese music, called Nohgaku, was played. These performances basically consists of a chorus, the Hayashi flute, the Tsuzumi drum, and other instruments.

For more information on the instruments see: http://www.taiko-center.co.jp/english/shop_other_japanese_instruments.html

Hitting the sticks together imitates the sound of the hyoshigi instrument. 

If the music did not engage you, then you could direct your attention to the men dressed like fighting foxes or the children in creepy doll masks.
