A beautiful interpretation of Princess Mononoke featuring two traditional Japanese instruments: the koto and the shakuhachi.
The koto is a traditional Japanese plucked string instrument and is widely regarded as Japan’s national instrument. With its long, elegant body and distinctive resonant sound, the koto has played an important role in Japanese music and culture for centuries.
The shakuhachi (尺八) is a traditional Japanese end-blown bamboo flute, known for its warm, breathy, and deeply expressive sound.
Performed by Yumi Kida & Rodrigo Rodriguez.
