Special Performance Featuring: Kotohime Kai

Taisho Koto is a Japanese musical instrument that developed during the Taisho period (1911–1925) of Japan. Unlike the traditional koto (Japanese harp-like instrument) which has 13 strings, the taisho koto has 5 strings and is electronically amplified. The Kotohime Kai members include Kaoru Domon, Kiyoko Ando, and Etsuko Yamanoshita. The trio which is based in Los Angeles, has performed in numerous recitals and Japanese cultural programs in Southern California. The group will perform classical koto pieces as well as popular Japanese songs. Free with Museum admission. Reservations required. Limited seating available.
