There are exactly two types of musical keys: Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, and Aolian.

@schratze It's not used very often, but at least the Japanese national anthem is in the Dorian mode starting on D.
In Gagaku court music, there's an instrument with a fixed temperament called the "shō," which has a structure like a pipe organ turned into a flute, and its tuning is in the Dorian mode.
But if you're asking whether it's purely of Japanese origin, that's not the case; it's actually an instrument with Pythagorean tuning that came over from China. -

@schratze Music is a culture of transmission, you know. That's why, in essence, there's no such thing as an origin.
It's essentially a global culture. -
@kotaro @schratze I'm rather fond of Mixolydian https://youtube.com/watch?v=IqbFzTH3J6s

@gunchleoc @schratze Me too. It has an Oriental sound, doesn't it? It's also used in Celtic dance.
-
@gunchleoc @schratze I had mastered those modes as naturally as breathing, even before I started studying Western composition. They're like blood and flesh to me.
@kotaro @schratze Thogail nam Bó is a Celtic song from Scotland, dating back to the 1500's https://www.altpibroch.com/learning/macfarlanes-gathering/
Celtic Classical music is quite different from mainline European Classical Music.
Another unique genre is from a few centuries later, when musical instruments were outlawed but people still wanted to dance. Modern performances usually add instruments though https://youtube.com/watch?v=ogdUcitRayQ

@gunchleoc @schratze By the way, this music is a recording of a Mixolydian mode improvisation I did a while back.
Using my perfect pitch, I identified the exact frequencies for a piano tuning that resonates with the sound of a "Suikinkutsu," a Japanese garden acoustic device. -

@schratze If we leave out Super Locrian, he'll be mad
