介绍（中）	这次罕见的收购是日本装饰和音乐艺术的巡回演出，目前在这个国家是无与伦比的。尽管在此之前存在强大的传统，但现代日本古筝音乐的基础是在 17 世纪形成的。这件古筝，镶嵌着大量的镶嵌物和非凡的金属制品，由著名的后藤金属制品艺术家家族的第九位大师，也许是最熟练的成员 Teijo，记录了这一重要的音乐发展。它还反映了其所有者的地位以及古筝作为日本象征的角色。除了乐器的演奏区外，所有乐器都装饰得非常出色。两侧装饰着精美的尿布图案的金鹤奖章，镶嵌木材、牛角、象牙和金属丝的精湛渲染延伸到上下表面。塔加山和希坦木的末端装饰着几何镶嵌图案和象牙框架中的金属制品狮子和花朵。精致的黑漆外表壳可追溯到19世纪初，饰有金色的makai-e鹤（乌丸家族的象征）和鹅，内部衬有带有飞鹅图案的金箔。布包由两种起源于 18 世纪和 19 世纪的丝绸刺绣织物组成。
介绍（英）	This rare acquisition is a tour de force of Japanese decorative and musical arts that is currently unparalleled in this country. Although a strong tradition existed before then, the foundation for modern Japanese koto music were formed during the seventeenth century. This koto, with it copious inlay and remarkable metalwork by Teijo, ninth master and perhaps most skilled member of the famous Goto family of metalwork artists, documents this important musical development. It also reflects the status of its owner and the koto's role as a symbol of Japan. All but the instrument's playing areas are exceptionally decorated. Gold crane medallions set against a finely carved diaper pattern adorn the sides, which are framed in a virtuosic rendering of inlaid woods, horn, ivory, and wire that extends onto both the upper and lower surfaces. The ends, of tagayasan and shitan wood, are embellished with geometric inlay patterns and metalwork lions and flowers in ivory frames. The elaborate black lacquered outer case, dating from the early nineteenth century, is decorated with gold makai-e cranes (symbol of the Karasumaru family) and geese, and its interior is lined with gold foil patterned with flying geese. The cloth wrap is composed of two silk embroidered fabrics of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century origin.
