What is koto?
The koto is one of Japan's traditional musical instruments.
In general, it is called "koto" and is sometimes referred to as "koto", but "koto" and "koto" are different musical instruments.
The biggest difference is that the koto uses a movable support called a pillar to adjust the pitch of the strings, while the koto does not have a pillar and determines the pitch at the place where the strings are pressed.
