Chugoku-Chiho no Komoriuta

[yoka955]

hey, this song is on my japanese meldies cd by yo-yo ma, if you get a chance you should try to hear that version. Pretty cool.

[tsarstepan]

I love that album. Burned it onto my iPod.

[annyonghaseyo90]

shamisen but most likely koto

[dannthr]

I'm pretty sure that's a Koto, which plays horizontal like a slide guitar.

[bwanless1]

I'd really like to know what it is too

[helicalvortex]

its kind of creepy
