Many traditional Japanese instruments are part of a long chain of cultural exchange, but they’re not “from Turkey” in a simple way. 🎶

Instruments like the shamisen and koto ultimately trace back to Central Asia and the Middle East via the Silk Road, then were adapted in China, and later brought to Japan and changed over centuries.

So you’re partly right: the deep roots connect to the Middle East, but the direct influences Japan used were mostly Chinese and other Asian versions.

It is like Mozart turkish march come from turk. so that there is historicism relative to conceptualism as fascist. You should know the bottom of logic.

[NathanDavis]

[ibodi]

No he honesty said turkish march like Hungarian Dances, so actually east european is fantasy more than west european.

[NathanDavis]

and this is why Japanese instruments are Turkish?

because Mozart fantasizes about Hungarian dances?

[ibodi]

Probably because they were not call what they are called in this era.
