Itsukushima Shrine Bugaku (Court Dance and Music) - A framed silver relief artwork. This relief frame, "Made by the Mint Bureau, Miyajima," by Miyamoto Shoko, is likely a metal craft product featuring a scene of Miyajima, manufactured by the Mint Bureau. Product Overview: Manufacturer: It is presumed that Miyamoto Shoko Co., Ltd. (a silver product manufacturer patronized by the Imperial Household Agency) planned and sold it, and the Mint Bureau manufactured (made with care) it. Features: Miyamoto Shoko specializes in high-quality silver products and metal crafts, so this relief frame is likely made of silver. The Mint Bureau manufactures not only currency but also medals and metal crafts. Bugaku at Itsukushima Shrine is a traditional performing art that combines "Gagaku" (court music) with dance, which was transmitted to Japan via India, China, and the Korean Peninsula. It was introduced to Miyajima by Taira no Kiyomori in the late Heian period and is still performed during Shinto rituals on the high stage. There are gorgeous performances such as the dragon dance "Ranryo-o," and it is a valuable art form that can only be seen in a few places other than the Imperial Household Agency Music Department, such as Itsukushima Shrine and Shitenno-ji Temple, with the mystical night performances being a highlight. In the late 12th century, Taira no Kiyomori moved the music hall from Shitenno-ji Temple in Osaka to Miyajima and actively performed Bugaku. More than twenty songs, including Ranryo-o, Nasori, Manzairaku, and Engiraku, are still passed down at Itsukushima Shrine. □Size: (Width W 28 x Depth D 4 x Height H 28) cm □Weight: Approximately 1130 g □Shipping cost borne by the seller: 870 yen *Please be sure to check the profile to prevent any trouble.
