While in Edo, the envoys also performed and enjoyed a number of entertainments, including performances of ''[[gagaku]]'' and [[Noh]], and Korean arts such as ''masangjae'' (horse acrobatics); skilled members of the embassy performed acrobatic tricks such as standing up on the horse's back while it ran, jumping on and off of a moving horse, swinging around to different sides of the horse while riding, and so forth.<ref>Gallery labels, National Museum of Korea.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/27680014568/sizes/k/]</reF>
