Mr. Malm makes available in this interesting and authoritative book the essential facts about the various forms of Japanese music and musical instruments and their place in the overall history of Japan. The book has three main orientations: the history of Japanese music, construction of the instruments, and analysis of the music itself. The book covers in a lucidly written text and a wealth of fascinating photographs and drawings the main forms of musical expression. Many readers will find the useful hints on purchasing instruments, records, and books especially valuable, and for those who wish to pursue the matter further there is a selected bibliography and a guide to Tokyo's somewhat hidden world of Japanese music. It will be found an invaluable aid to the understanding and appreciation of an important, but little-known, and fascinating aspect of Japanese culture.
