John A Stuart Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 Is this an instrument box maybe? 敬琴 Kei Koto revered koto (zither). John Quote
Nobody Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 The name on the second box is Iwamoto Keikin (岩本敬琴), who seems to be a Koto (琴) craftsman. Quote
lonely panet Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Posted June 27, 2014 Thanks for all your help, looks like my box has been miss-used. I didn't know KOTO were made this small, though I know nothing at all about them!!!!! regards Hamish Quote
