The koto (箏) is a traditional japanese stringed musical instrument, similar to the Chinese guzheng.
The koto is the national instrument of Japan.[1]
Koto are about 180 centimetres (71 in) width, and made from kiri wood (Paulownia tomentosa).
They have 13 strings that are strung over 13 movable bridges along the width of the instrument.
Players can adjust the string pitches by moving these bridges before playing, and use three finger picks (on thumb, index finger, and middle finger) to pluck the strings.
the character 琴 is often used for koto, but strictly speaking, 琴 have no bridges.
One of the characters for koto, 箏, is also read as sō in certain contexts.
Though often called by a number of other names, these terms almost always refer to similar, but different instruments, such as the Chinese guzheng (箏) or guqin (琴, called kin in Japanese)
