It is equipped with the structure that professionals can perform full-scale performance because it is a koto of full length.
The strings are tied with a half hitch to a roll of paper or cardboard, about the size of a cigarette butt, strung through the holes at the head of the koto, threaded through the holes at the back, tightened, and tied with a special knot.
Strings can be tightened by a special machine, but often are tightened by hand, and then tied.
One can tighten by pulling the string from behind, or sitting at the side of the koto, although the latter is much harder and requires much arm strength.
When Koto was first imported to Japan, the native word Koto was a generic term for any and all Japanese stringed instruments.
Over time the definition of Koto could not describe the wide variety of these stringed instruments and so the meanings changed.
Azumagoto or Yamatogoto was called Wagon, Kin no Koto was called the Kin, and the So no Koto (So being an older pronunciation of So) was called So or Koto.
The modern Koto originates from Gakuso used in Japanese court music.
It was a popular instrument among the wealthy; the instrument Koto was considered a romantic one.
Some literary and historical records indicate that solo pieces for Koto existed centuries before So-kyoku, the music of the solo Koto genre, was established.
According to Japanese literature, the Koto was used as imagery and other extra music significance.
In one part of "The Tales of Genji/ Genji monogatari", Genji falls deeply in love with a mysterious woman, who he has never seen before, after he hears her playing Koto from a distance.
