SHUKOSHI (sojo) Sojo is a gagaku scale based on atone corresponding to G natural in western music. This is an adaptation to sojo of a work originally in ichi- kotsu-cho, a change analogous to transposing into another key in Western music hut causing complex changes in the melodic line due to the nature of the scales used. It is said to have been played during drinking parties at the T'ang court.
