Koto


Mrs. Arita likes to play the traditional Japanese instrument called the koto. She had a concert last Saturday at the Sagamihara city hall. She practiced a lot each day and I wish I could have gone to the concert to see her play, but I had classes to give that day. She did not play alone, but in an orchestra of Japanese traditional instruments. Since I couldn't make it, Mrs. Arita gave me my own personal concert the morning before the performance. She is wearing a kimono and I was told the concert was beautiful. But Mrs. Arita is glad her performance is finally finished and not be so busy practicing.
