侍音楽

Here's a CD I picked up from the 図書館 (としょかん) - Library

侍 (さむらい) - Samurai

日本 has a wide variety of traditional instruments known as 和楽器 
(わがっき) such as:

琴 (こと) - Koto; a stringed instrument played on the floor with two hands

三味線 (しゃみせん) - A three-stringed Japanese lute strung with fingers or a large pick called a 撥 (ばち)

琵琶 (びわ) - A four-stringed (sometimes 5) Japanese wooden lute

尺八 (しゃくはち) - A bamboo Japanese end-blown flute with 5 holes

太鼓 (たいこ) - Taiko is the general name from 'drum', yet there are many types of drums in Japan used for 能 (のう) - A music and dance drama that depicts ancient stories of Japan; used in festivals or for spiritual ceremonies and other purposes

There are a lot instruments of Japan and a more comprehensive list can be found here on Wikipedia, plus you can search on youtube for lots of examples on the sounds, how to play and music of these instruments that I recommend.

Japanese traditional music has meditative and minimalistic qualities that I like very much, ぼくは好きです!

Although this CD was more of a 侍 Chill beats soundtrack with electronic drum beats underneath the 琴と三味線, that 時々好きです。でも、もう和楽器が聞いてに欲しがりました。

もう、すぎね。
