Música del Mundo on Instagram: "The sounds of ancient Japan, a couple of instrument with more than a thousand years of history, the biwa, a traditional short-necked lute and the kugo, an angled harp, both instruments were used around the 8th century By @togi_hideki"

Here’s your moment of zen from Lake Biwa in Japan to carry you into the weekend. This is Okishima, the only inhabited lake island in Japan. Located about 2 km off the eastern shore of Lake Biwa, the lineage of many of its residents trace back to samurai refugees in the 12th century. There are approximately 300 residents and fishing is a key element of the island's history and culture. #infisherman #lakebiwa #japan | In-Fisherman
