There are three common usages of こと (koto) in Japanese. These are:

  • 琴 - the national instrument of Japan, which is called the 'koto' and is a 13-stringed instrument
  • 事 - used to mean 'thing' in Japanese and can be used to refer to both tangible and intangible things
  • 古都 - an ancient city or former capital

I think the meaning you're looking for is the first - the Japanese koto. If you're interested in reading more about the koto, see the related links below.
