Koohii stories:
1) [nyquil] 10-3-2007(319): Two kings were fighting over a beautiful koto (harp). So they had a clock built into it that would measure how long each one played it. That way they could be sure none played it more than othe other.
2) [mistamark] 14-12-2008(38): The two kings want to hear a harp right now!!
3) [dingomick] 26-4-2007(13): A pair 0f kings exchange gifts: a clock and a harp(koto).
4) [MRT88] 14-12-2009(10): Two kings were fighting over a beautiful koto (harp). So they had a clock built into it that would measure how long each one played it. That way they could be sure none played it more than othe other. (It helps me to remember that the kings are sitting atop the giant floor clock staring down in anticipation. for placement).
5) [FudoMyo] 8-3-2007(7): This is actually the kanji for koto. I pictute two mallets with jeweled heads beating on a koto in time to a metronome (clock).
