Koto – Japanese plucked musical instrument, long zither with moving filly. Koto, along with Hayashi and Shakuhachi flutes, Tsudzumi drum and Shamisen lute, belongs to traditional Japanese musical instruments. Until the 20th century, koto was mainly a solo instrument.
Over the centuries of history, koto has not undergone fundamental changes in design. In modern Japan, koto continues to be used in traditional and modern music, there are two schools of performance in koto – Ikuta-ryu and Yamada-ryu, in the past there were two other major schools that have now lost popularity.
The 13-string koto is one of Japan’s most dignified traditional instruments. Capable of everything from elegant, single plucked notes to aggressive glissandos, the koto boasts a wide range of musical expressions and can add a dash of refinement and grace to traditional Japanese music, modern film scores, and many other genres.
