The Washington Toho Koto Society is a group of over one hundred players and friends. The association was organized by Kyoko Okamoto in 1971 to promote the enjoyment of Japanese koto music. The Society has earned wide acclaim and has participated in many national events. These events have included Presidential inaugurations, Japanese Embassy events, Japanese Sister City and State programs, National Cherry Blossom Festivals, and many international folk festivals. The repertoire of the Society ranges from early 17th century koto music to contemporary compositions.
