KOTOMUSIC in Taipei | Hanfu Dressing & First Notes on the Guzheng

Ever wanted to feel like you stepped straight into a historical painting? At KOTOMUSIC in Taipei’s Beitou, you don’t just listen—you dress up in flowing Hanfu and gently strum the strings of a Guzheng. It’s traditional culture, unpacked in a one‑hour delight.

Intro

KotoMusic instructor guiding student on Guzheng

Your experience begins as you walk in: a rack of colorful Hanfu awaits. Pick your size, and let the staff guide you into the vestments—hairpin, sash, all set. In ten minutes you’re transformed, posture and presence shifting naturally.

Then comes the music. A friendly instructor shows you the basics of Guzheng—how to position your hand, pluck the strings, and hear your first melody emerge. Even without musical background, you’ll play a short tune by the end.

The best part? They record a quick video so you can watch yourself in Hanfu playing an ancient instrument. All smiles, zero stress—it feels like a snapshot from another era, made just for you.
