After having listened to this piece and looked at the score i can find nothing particularly wrong with either the orchestration or the handling of the material. For a slow middle movement it is fine- generally atmospheric in its user of the pentatonic scale. Although it does seem a bit monothematic I think this is partly the character of koto music and pentatonic music in general and as the movement only lasts for 3 1/2 minutes it probably recognises its own limitation. There are a few unusual things in the use of instruments but you don't learn if you don't try.
