Meaning & Story
Koto is a Japanese word for the koto — a traditional Japanese string instrument of great antiquity and beauty, played flat on the floor with picks. The name evokes grace, culture, and a refined, musical soul.
Koto is a name of exceptional elegance — the Japanese koto is one of the world's most beautiful instruments, its music a perfect blend of structure and feeling. It suits a graceful, poised male pet who moves with that kind of studied beauty: the cat who sits in perfect positions, the dog whose gait has an unmistakable rhythm. For Japan-loving owners, Koto is a beautiful tribute.
