Hi,

I was heavily leaning toward a Japanese style, but it's not based on anything in particular.

It seems to lean towards more the japanese side. Sadly japanese culture is becoming very popular. :/

She's playing a shakuhachi! Horrible sounding instrument, but can be cool.

It's a great way to accompany traditional Japanese theater though- a very expressive instrument!



This is extremely nice, very cute idea and well composed. Every culture has the stories of the little piper girl seducing animals. I can't wait for my paycheck to buy this one! ^_^

i think it's chinese. check out the traditional chinese girl hairstyle. japanese girls traditionally wear their hair differently (geisha style if they're geisha, a plainer bun otherwise, etc). also you can kind of see the dark vest she's wearing over her gown. a lot of japanese musical instruments were originally chinese or at least were passed on through china from wherever china picked them up. she's simply playing something like a xiao ?.
