Koto no Wa will be coming to the Garden to perform traditional Japanese Koto music from 11am - 1pm on on Saturday, April 12th. Come experience the natural beauty of the Garden, complemented by the elegant sound of the Koto.
The koto is a Japanese plucked, half-tube zither instrument, and the national instrument of Japan. The koto is about six feet long and consists of a hollow body made from Paulownia wood (kiri). The most common type uses 13 silk or nylon strings strung over movable bridges used for tuning, different pieces possibly requiring different tuning. Koto strings are generally plucked using three fingerpicks (tsume), worn on the first three fingers of the right hand.

Admission is free for all youth 12 and under from 10am to 2pm for Family Saturday.
