Koto Players

Naoko and her daughter Sayako played the Koto - a traditional Japanese instrument. Not only was it very cross-cultural to have these instruments played in a Medieval English building, it was also absolutely mesmorizing. Their music had us all entranced. They introduced the workings of the instruments, with Ritsuko translating, before explaing that the music would take the form of four movements, each expressing a different aspect of the bride's beauty.
