The Institute of Japanese Traditional Music was established in 1995 as a new educational and research institution specializing in new Japanese traditional music.
The Institute was established to enable large numbers of people to acquire correct knowledge about Japanese traditional music and enrich their musicality, as well as to nurture people who will be able to make contributions in a wide range of areas of music culture, including performing, creation, education, research, and production.
