I have never really taken the time to watch and listen to the incredible music that can be created by the Koto. I had heard the name of the instrument mentioned in relation to the electric guitar playing of Marty Friedman though. This musician has a great gift/talent! Would love to see this music live in the UK.
Japanese Koto music"Sanka" Sanka is an ode. She shows how to wear Kimono. She is a lady of graceful carriage. Ex-prime ministers' wives couldn't wear like this.
