I had the pleasure of having Hiroshima come through a jazz festival I was mixing over the summer and they feature a koto in their band. IIRC they had a contact mic inside the instrument feeding a tuner and we took a DI off that, and they also had what looked to be a Shure Beta 91 tucked up in the sound hole. Their BE mixed both in the PA and I think we just had the DI in the monitors. Here is a video (not of this gig) of them playing where you can see what I'm talking about.
