The Problem
Here, I want to share my cultural heritage and stories to heighten cultural awareness in my community.
Our Plan
I played the song "Komoriuta Hensoukyoku", which is a lullaby variations song, with my Koto. I performed this to other musicians and shared my instrument.

Here is how the project went:
I was able to perform for around 20 people, and around half of them were musicians also.
Through this project I/we learned:
I learned that even performing for a short amount of time, I could make an impact on other people's cultural awareness.
What I/we might change:
I might add more information about my instrument and its history to tell the audience.
My/our favorite part of this project was:
Being able to speak to other musicians and hearing how they heard and saw the music.
Some tips, tricks or fun facts about the project:
Fun Fact: my type of Japanese Harp has 13 strings, which is normal for a Koto. But some rare harps can have 20 strings.
