Document Summary
Many art forms/creative pursuits fell under the iemoto system: dance, flower arranging, and shamisen playing, for example. Other musical art forms were controlled through the iemoto system as well. Implications: to learn, and eventually master, a particular art form will cost a great deal of money (and time)! Those who occupy top spots in the iemoto system can become quite wealthy. Conservatories!! (krohn conservatory; new england conservatory of music) Sanctity of music; to preserve what might otherwise become lost; producing the best musicians from the best places (that"s why julliard accepts only the best). Today the iemoto system is still in place, but newer, and modern methods for transmitting knowledge exist.
