From Wikipedia
Komagaku (高麗楽) is a style of gagaku, the traditional court music of Japan. It developed primarily during the Heian period and is based largely on musical traditions transmitted from Koguryeo and other regions of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, collectively known as sankangaku. Komagaku is frequently performed as accompaniment for court dances.
In contrast to other forms of gagaku, Komagaku does not employ plucked string instruments, relying instead on wind and percussion instruments.
