like many traditional Japanese instruments the Koto was originally introduced by China. Originally, the Koto was only played in the Palace, common people of Japan never got to hear it. then about 350 years ago, a blind musician named Yatsuhashi was taught to play the Koto buy a friend of his who was a musician in the palace. Then Yatsuhashi shared the instrument with the common people. even though it was a very popular instrument, Yatsuhashi's friend lost his job in the Palace. That's why Yatsuhashi is called the father of Koto music and this piece is the oldest known peace played on the Koto. It's a very elegant piece in my opinion.
Thank-you for sharing an important fact on Koto, the musicians and Japanese/Chinese cultures. Yatsuhashi's piece is a gift to all people by way of the Imperial Palace; learned that today.
This kinda sounds like a background music somewhere in Inazuma Genshin Impact or maybe is it just me thinking they're slightly similar especially the first part
