The kotsuzumi is a unique, traditional instrument played by striking it with the right hand while adjusting the tone by varying the grip on the cords with the left hand.

Begin your journey by crafting your own Goshuincho, a traditional Japanese temple stamp book to collect stamps from temples and shrines.
