String instruments of China & Japan, Deutsches Museum (121283520)
China looks back on a 4000 year tradition of musical instrument making and playing. In ancient times, the instruments used included aerophones, idiophones, and membranophones, and among the stringed instruments, relatives of our zithers. These half-tube zithers are still today the most important instruments in China. Lutes and harps were introduced 2000 years afo under the collective name of p'ip'a. The original inhabitants of Japan are the Ainu. Their descendants now live on Hokkaido and on the Sachalin peninsula. The have their own culture and language. Their main instruments is the Tonkori, a five-stringed zither. The three-stringed board zither is a smaller member of the family. The typical stringed instruments used in Japanese music are the shamisen and the koto. Both were played to accompany voice. However, the koto is important to Japanese art-music of recent origin. |
