Its 13 strings bring elegant and spiritual sounds that mimic stillness and motion as does
the 4 seasons of Japan. You will feel as if it is you who is playing these warm, dynamic tones.

An ancient Japanese musical instrument comes into the spotlight again. The Koto is not only
used in traditional music, but also modern day composers have also used the instrument in
collaboration with orchestras since the early 1900.s. Koto captures the pure sound of Japan
and will flood your ears with various sounds.

Koto was used in old Japanese court music to sooth the body. It has been said that this
instrument could purify you mind, body, and soul. There is an opening in the bottom of the
Koto which releases the sound that seems to penetrate your body.

The DVD-ROM was recorded with the player facing the Koto using the correct posture and
emotional display to achieve the high quality 96 kHz/24bit sound. You can hear many basic
play techniques such as types of chalking, finger slides, pizzicato, and arpeggios all
inside 1023 files.

The Koto sound is as quite as the moon, cherry blossoms, and the surface of water. It has
a lightness of flying butterflies and the sputtering of fish, but has the strength of
thunder. Its 13 strings bring elegant and spiritual sounds that mimic stillness and motion
as does the 4 seasons of Japan. You will feel as if it is you who is playing these warm,
dynamic tones.

The overflowing rich sounds of the Koto were by no means for the enjoyment of music. During
a time of ruins and decay of ancient times it may have been known as an intellectual sound
source. But with the Koto.s inspirational sounds from its creator resonating with mankind
will bring harmony into the new age.
