This is a Horse head fiddle. It is a Mongolian traditional instrument and as it is a chamber instrument, it sounds a bit strained on video. The garments I am wearing is the national clothing, called the Deel. There are different types of the deel; the one  I am wearing is for traditional dance. The instrument itself can be used to impersonate a horse and play cultural songs as well. -M

Happy White Day!

In Japan, on Valentine’s Day, 14th February, girls give chocolate and gifts to the boys.  One month later, 14th March, is ‘White Day’, and the boys who were given a gift the month before return the favour to the girls! We hope you are showered with gifts today Jiina and Ayaka! 🙂
