Yueqin
The ''yueqin'' (; ja, 月琴, Gekkin; ko, 월금/月琴, Wolgeum; vi, Nguyệt cầm), also called a moon lute or moon guitar, is a traditional Chinese string instrument. It is a lute with a round, hollow soundboard, a short fretted neck, and usually four strings. It is an important instrument in the Peking opera orchestra, often taking the role of main melodic instrument in lieu of the bowed string section. The instrument was invented in China in the 3rd to 5th centuries AD, during the Jin dynasty. The ruan, another Chinese instrument, is the ancestor of the yueqin.

Inuyasha (character)
is a fictional character and the titular protagonist of the manga series ''Inuyasha'', created by Rumiko Takahashi. He is a half-demon, half-human from the Sengoku period of Japan. Inuyasha also appears in the anime-only sequel, '' Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon''. Concept and creation When Rumiko Takahashi began the series, the only ideas she had were Inuyasha being sealed by Kikyō and his sword being a relic from his father, everything after that was thought up on a weekly basis. Inuyasha's name simply comes from the fact that he is part dog (''inu'' in Japanese) and part '' yasha''. According to interviews with Rumiko Takahashi, the style for his clothing was based on "priest's garb" of the Sengoku period.
