The Fire Watchtower at Night 🎐 Japanese Sleep Music | Shakuhachi Flute for Deep Sleep #57

The Fire Watchtower at Night. One hour of gentle Japanese soundscapes — shakuhachi, koto, and soft ambient tones — for deep sleep, meditation, and quiet nights. 🎐 Tonight's scene: 火の見櫓の夜・表題曲. A note on this scene: Edo was a city built of wood, so it was also a city of watchtowers. A hanging bell at the top was struck in counted strokes, and the count told the neighbourhood how far away the fire was. 00:00:00 The Fire Watchtower at Night 00:03:22 Ladder Up the Timber Frame 00:06:32 A Late Moon Behind the Frame 00:14:31 Roof Ridges Below in Rows 00:17:33 The Bell Hangs Without Sound 00:20:07 Coals in the Watchman's Brazier 00:23:19 Nothing to Report Tonight 00:31:18 The Town Sleeps in One Piece 00:39:16 The Long Middle of the Watch 00:42:10 Smoke From the First Kitchens 00:45:19 The Fire Watchtower at Night 00:48:42 Ladder Up the Timber Frame 00:51:52 A Late Moon Behind the Frame 00:59:51 Roof Ridges Below in Rows 01:02:53 The Bell Hangs Without Sound 01:05:27 Coals in the Watchman's Brazier 01:08:39 Nothing to Report Tonight 01:16:37 The Town Sleeps in One Piece 01:24:36 The Long Middle of the Watch 01:27:30 Smoke From the First Kitchens (total 90m39s) Oborozuki（朧月）— "the hazy moon" of old Japanese poetry, the moon you see just before falling asleep. New quiet nights follow the Japanese calendar: phases of the moon, the 24 sekki, and still places across Japan.
