Autumn Evening at the Old Shrine | 1 Hour Japanese Zen Music for Deep Sleep & Relaxation

Late afternoon in late autumn at a small, old hokora deep in a Japanese forest. The low evening sun shines through the maples around the shrine, and their red and orange leaves glow like stained glass; fallen leaves lie scattered over the green moss and the worn stone steps, and long warm shafts of light cross the ground. Tall dark cedars stand behind, and a single small light already glows inside the shrine. Somewhere close by a flute is playing, though no one can be seen. One hour of an autumn evening at the old shrine — twelve quiet variations, "Autumn Evening at the Old Shrine." The shinobue flute leads this evening, with piano and koto resting beneath it; as the light fades, the music settles into a slower, quieter flow for drifting into sleep. For deep sleep, quiet evenings, meditation, and gentle rest.
