The Koto (a zither-like instrument) is a traditional Japanese instrument used today mostly in chamber music. It was introduced into Japan from China around the 8th century as part of the Imperial Court ensemble but quickly moved into the more popular culture. By the 17th century it was widespread within the culture and is enjoyed today in a chamber music setting particularly with voice, Shamisen (a three stringed Japanese banjo-like instrument), and Shakuhachi (a bamboo flute).
