Customer Reviews

A decent example of the music of the Japanese Koto.
Upon first hearing this CD, you may find yourself a bit dissapointed with the lack of "character" this CD has, in other words, the songs are pretty much all the same with no song being distinguishable from any other and each consisting of basically 1 note every two seconds performed by musicians that obviously aren't 1st rate koto masters. On the other hand, traditional koto music is based on simplicity, and this CD is the perfect example of simple, it somehow makes you feel like you're in feudal Japan. So in that aspect it isn't a total dissapointment. A good CD for the beginning Asian-music enthusiast, but with this, you kind of get what you pay for.
