Since I saw a woman playing koto in Japan, i'm fascinated by that sound. I can't wait to see it again there. Amazing country, amazing culture, amazing food, and koto was the cherry on top.
I'll never forget how i had a project in music class and i presented the koto with this video and i got an A+ because my teacher was so in love with the performance and sound. He even did more research and would let me know how he was thinking of getting one 😂😆
When I performed this song it was a 6 minute version her control and speed with the tempo is how a professional level player should do it and her dynamic playing added to the complexity. You don’t realize what it takes to get to this level unless you try the instrument yourself, this was a masterful performance ❤
An instrument I like from the first time I heard it played. I still enjoy it very much today and particularly by this young woman here who has done a beautiful job at mastering of an instrument that is capable of so much beautiful. Thank you very much
The technique is exquisite, the timing perfect, the melody vibrant and the player's own charm just adds another dimension. A delight for both senses, visual and hearing.
Traditional music & awesome performances lovers... watch it ! Thumbs up & thanks for sharing this musical moment... throughout this outstanding, elegant performance ...
Zack Gomez I took a music in world cultures paper last year, I loved it! I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you get an opportunity to play some of the many Japanese instruments available (and instruments of other parts of the world!)
