How to describe KOTO for those who have never heard its strings being plucked... Beautiful. As you can see from the picture, the instrument lays on the floor, a long "stringed" instrument... a combination of the strings of the violin, viola, cello and bass with a distinct Japanese sound... string plucking and strumming and bending. Their plucking hand has flat metal caps on each finger and the thumb. It was pretty amazing. And as the tempo and style and rhythm of music changed along the course of the song, different images danced around on the edge of my memories - stories following the music.
