If anyone is interested, there is a relatively new anime named Kono Oto Tomare, about a high school koto club and they actually play Rokudan no Shirabe :D
The anime includes many modern original pieces too. I really recommend it for anyone interested in learning more about koto. I have played koto for many years but never really enjoyed until I started reading the manga and trying new things. 👍
I like to imagine every time Shawn comes in as a guest, his toon self just yeets toon linfamy over the head with a shakuhachi, ties him up and then starts the video
I once saw a zither that looked almost exactly like this, complete with moving tuning blocks that was found in a 2,500 year old Chu state tomb in central china. I am not one of those waah such and such had it first types, but its so amazing how static this instrument has remained in form.. yet how the Japanese are able to get such an incredibly distinct sound from it compared to its chinese grandparents. The evolution of instruments and how they are played is so fascinating. :)
I remember explaining the plot of The Tale of Genji to my classmates Most of them looked at confused like 'why are you reading a thousand pages of that' I told them 'i honestly don't know but it's really good'
Thanx for posting this... I came across this instrument in the anime Kono Oto Tomare and fell in love with it, specially the composition Tenkyuu in the anime. Now I keep listening to erhu and koto music on RUclips 😁❤
i love this instrument its like a piano without the keys and its also a harp piano hybrids and and and its like the guzheng of china since theyre the same instrument
I was super excited to see a video about the koto! Pretty accurate from what I’ve been taught as a koto player and of Sawai Sensei’s school. Keep it up guys, fun and informative video!
Shout out to Kono Oto Tomare! or Can't Stop This Sound! in english. Great anime and manga which I recommend even for those not familiar with the Koto and something I'm sure long time admirers will love ;)
I was watching this at my friends house while waiting for them to wake up and one of her cats where sitting next to me at the start and the cat looked over at my phone and started watching it
Interesting. Thanks for posting. Liked and shared. Imagine being a blind traveling musician . . . and having to tune and replace strings on this thing. Or you show up somewhere that says they've got their own, and it's a wreck.
Pursuant to the Shakuhachi, here's my tribute to the O-Bon, with solo designed to accord the music that same, Astral, lack of cognates that Suisen creates in the Komuso. ruclips.net/video/a4GOp_-eNDM/видео.html&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR3QbqzxnNM7hy9SFtMFPO5gpPmChLRakVU1CfgZQUbkkUVIdrkWtp7Gy1o
I really like these kinds of videos! It's an actually interesting way to get in touch with instruments I otherwise would have never heard off. Keep up the great work!
The name "Kengyo" was actually only given to revered blind musicians, so you had to be both blind and play awesome music in order to be called Kengyo. The only Kengyo still alive in modern Japan is Imai Kengyo(birth name Tsutomu Imai), who usually plays Heike-biwa but also plays shamisen and, of course, the koto.
@@Linfamy Apparently RUclips doesn't like to tell me when someone replies to my comment. 🤔 Definitely I would do both. Finding a koto performance seems straight forward, but I have no idea where I could go to play the actual instrument. It's too bad there isn't a library full of instruments for people to borrow for a day.
It looks like the Gayageum. Interestingly, even as far as Austria similar instruments were played (Zither). Also, I vaguely remember European stories about cursed rocks.
@@TairyuShakuhachi Do you know if it matters if something is constructed like a Zither or Harp? (assuming same string length, same volume of the resonance chamer and similar construction otherwise)
Cool video 👍. I would love to connect with this guy. I am of Okinawan decent...and have been claiming my heritage by studying traditional classical Ryukyu music...by way of the quintessential Okinawan instrument, the Sanshin.
This is a great video... wanted to use it for one of my classes... but unfortunately, it's not appropriate for a public school setting. Very informative though... and entertaining!
I wasn't paying attention to when this video was posted, and I was shooketh that I'm decently early for once. Also, I specifically paused the video just to read the "yo mama" joke. NICE. XD

Well... Sesshoseki is now broken.

Originally, "Koto" has existed in Japan for a long time, and it can be seen that it was used as an instrument for magic.

Wait. Both you and Rob Scallon make a video on Koto on the same day? Neat!

80 strings!? You need to invite 15 other people just to play them all! And imagine the boba!
Brian May of Queen plays a toy version of the koto for the Prophet's Song. You can here it at the beginning and end of the number.

Was hoping for more info on that instrument(the 80 string)... i wanna see hiw the 80 string is played
what is the exact tension an open string of koto should be? I acquire 1 but I think it's to tight I already break 2 string any advice?
