What is the message and function of the song Sakura?
Sakura the song is a celebration of the beauty of what the Japanese word means in English,
which is Cherry Blossoms. For the uninitiated, cherry blossoms are the gorgeous leaves of
the Japanese tree in bloom.
They are incredibly beautiful and it's no surprise that a culture

based on the calm and collected psychologies of Shinto and
Zen would notice, write a song about it, and continue to honor
that song for centuries on a traditional instrument such as the
Koto. The koto is a classical Japanese stringed instrument
akin to a lap steel guitar.
Just for the sake of saying it, the Japanese also have a
stringed instrument more like an acoustic guitar called the
shamisen.
Sakura was written during the Edo period of Japan, roughly

around 1600 to 1850 when the Tokugawa shogunate ruled the
land. This folk song was just your typical urban melody until
the Tokyo Academy of Music used it as a beginner's song in
their 1888 Collection of Japanese Koto Music for koto
students.
This song actually has one original verse and a second verse
added in 1941 by the Japanese Ministry of Education. The
original lyrics in Japanese are:
Mo Li Hua is a Jasmine Flower in English term. The song describes the appearance of a
jasmine flower, which is beautiful and white.
Mo Li Hua is a repetitive ballad folk song, which can be easily

memorized because it has short tunes.
Mo Li Hua is a Jasmine Flower in English term. The song describes the appearance of a jasmine flower,
which is beautiful and white. A jasmine flower can be compared to a woman with a pure heart, beautiful
in her own way, being praised by a lot of people.
1. "Arirang" (아리랑; [a.ɾi.ɾaŋ]) is a Korean folk song that is often considered to be

the anthem of Korea.[1] There are about 3,600 variations of 60 different versions
of the song, all of which include a refrain similar to, "Arirang, arirang, arariyo (아리
랑, 아리랑, 아라리요)"[2] It is estimated the song is more than 600 years old.[3]

Korean name
"Arirang" is included twice on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. South
Koreasuccessfully submitted the song for inclusion on the UNESCO list in 2012. [3]
[2] North Koreaalso successfully submitted the song for inclusion in 2014. [1][4] In 2015,
the South KoreanCultural Heritage Administration added the song to its list of
important intangible cultural assets.[5]
t is believed that "Arirang" originated in Jeongseon, Gangwon Province. According to
a legend, the name is derived from the story of a bachelor and a maiden who fell in love
while picking Camellia blossoms near the wharf at Auraji (아우라지). There are two
versions of this story. In the first one, the bachelor cannot cross the Auraji to meet the
maiden because the water is too high and so, they sing a song to express their sorrow.
In the second version, the bachelor attempts to cross the Auraji and drowns, singing the
sorrowful song after he dies.[6]
Other theories on the origin of the name "Arirang" point to Lady Aryeong, wife of the
first king of Silla; "arin," the Jurchen word for "hometown"."[7]
According to prof. Keith Howard, "Arirang" originated in the mountainous regions
of Jeongseon and the first mention of the song was found in a 1756 manuscript. [8]
Resistance anthemEdit
During the Japanese occupation of Korea from 1910 to 1945, "Arirang" became a
resistance anthem against Imperial Japanese rule.[13][14] Korean protesters sang
"Arirang" during the March 1 Movement, a Korean demonstration against Japananese
Empire in 1919. Many of the variations of "Arirang" that were written during the
occupation contain themes of injustice, the plight of labourers, and guerrilla warfare. [13]
The most well-known lyrics to "Arirang" first appeared in the 1926 silent
film Arirang, directed by Na Woon-gyu. Arirang is now considered a lost film but
various accounts say the film was about a Korean student who became mentally ill after
being imprisoned and tortured by the Japanese. The film was a hit upon its release and
is considered the first Korean nationalist film.[15][13][16]

 Relate how these aspects of Japanese culture are influenced by history.
Shared Cultural Values of Japan

Every culture transmits values to its youth, first in the context of family, and then
through the educational process. In Japan, some of the core values are thinking of
others, doing your best, not giving up, respecting your elders, knowing your role, and
working in a group.
 How do these pictures show aspects of Japanese culture?
 What similarities with other East Asian countries can you identify in these objects?
Activity 4: Getting to Know the Culture
How does music reflect the different aspects of their culture?
The performance of Japanese music has been of a spiritual character, similar to martial arts and other
forms of art such as the tea ceremony and calligraphy. It is usually about religious festivals, work, dance,
love and regional songs.
For several thousand years, Chinese culture was dominated by the teachings of the philosopher
Confucius, he conceived music in the highest sense as a means of calming the passion of dispelling of
unrest and lust, rather than as a form of amusement.
Korea's folk music tradition, with its generous use of bright rhythms and melodies, offers a more
energetic and capricious contrast to the nation's collection of classical music works. Folk music
represents the soul and sound of traditional Korean villages with an eclectic array of music forms
including numerous folk songs, various forms of instrumental pieces, pansori, and shaman ritual music.
Although, geographically, the Philippines belongs to the East, its music has been heavily influenced by
the West owing to 333 years of Spanish rule and 45 years of American domination. In discussing
Philippine music, three main divisions are apparent: (1) an old Asian-influenced music referred to as
indigenous; (2) a religious and secular music influenced by Spanish and European forms; and (3) an
American/European inspired classical, semi-classical, and popular music.
Traditional music in China is played on solo instruments or in small ensembles of plucked and
bowed stringed instruments, flutes, and various cymbals, gongs, and
drums. ... Chinese orchestras traditionally consist of bowed strings, woodwinds, plucked strings
and percussion

What is the relevance of music in their society?
Music can raise someone's mood, get them excited, or make them calm and
relaxed.Music also - and this is important - allows us to feel nearly or possibly all emotions that
we experience in our lives. The possibilities are endless. ... It is an important part of their lives
and fills a need or an urge to create music.
No I dont “think “ music is important , its a god given “fact” music is vital for humans , like
sport is , whipe dimbos ponder the meaning of life , humans are more imtelligent , (much
more) better health , more socialiable , when they are Happy . If there is a god , he made us
to be happy , its not eeasy .
Rather than listening to music , playing music is the real important thing because it
integrates your brain , its true intelligence , which education destroys ,
Electronic music is almost the work of the devil , its dead lifeless and as we can see degraded
into filth to get attention .
Humans work on 4’s music is 4 time (mostly)

If music wasnt important governments wouldn't go out of their way to obliterate good music
.
Must c is a basic human activity if you dont play an instrument you arent living.
Race problems ? I dont have them Im a good drummer , I play, the african djembe , rather
well , if I play every one stops , has a chat africans sikhs any one , and they regard it as good
& fun . Because Im not doing bugger all for one (doing bugger all is a product of higher
education) I have an interest , and must cally ither people know I've put time in & respect
that
I started music at 50 because it's either that or be like every one else drugs drink OR
Prescribed drugs (as bad as illegal drugs) just to kill life in people , boring say nothing
zombie (thats how the middoe classes end up not much past 50 )
Music is essential , if you sight read , your doing more brain work than youll ever do at
university
Identify similarities and differences of your music and culture with the Philippines?
