Answer:
I did some research on it, attached below.
Explanation:
Study of existence
Explanation: It's something that is a part of philosophy, in other words putting things into categories with the theories that explain the ideology or nature of existence by describing it or its parts in substance or causes. Types: object, kind, mode, and attributes
Simple example
trying to explain or rather "prove" god exists based on causes like say you made a wish once and it came true or maybe how your life has been better because you have beliefs, etc.
Answer: Kotos; shamisens; heterophonic
Explanation: This is a Hogaku concert which is a traditional concert of Japanese traditional music. It is a concert consisting of several parts and featuring musicians dressed in traditional Japanese costume. In doing so, musicians take certain instruments in a particular part of the concert they play, so that when the second part of the concert begins, the musicians replace the instruments they play. All the instruments played by musicians are on the floor from where they pick them up when they need to play a specific instrument for a particular part of the concert.
The said kotos is an instrument that musicians play in the first part of the concert. It's a stringed instrument - a zither with thirteen strings and the ensemble in that section has three kotos. In addition, the ensemble has three aforementioned shamisens and that is three-stringed lutes played with a plectrum. During the playing of these instruments, musicians who are both men and women also sing, where, as stated, all the parts appear to have the same melody, but each of these components has a somewhat different mode, which gives a heterophonic texture overall.
