Weights of Koto

Do you know how many kilograms the Koto is?

Some people seem to think that Koto is made of logs.

Koto might be very heavy if that is true.

When you turn it over and look at the back side, you can see the two holes.

And you will understand the inside is hollow.

The vibration transmitted from the string resonates in this hollowed out inner space.

It’s like a guitar, isn’t it?

So, the answer of the question is about six to eight kilograms.

Even if you are a woman, you can carry it easily.
