Sea of Clouds below the Ridge 🌅 Japanese Sleep Music | Koto & Shakuhachi for Calm Mornings #82

Sea of Clouds below the Ridge. One hour of gentle Japanese soundscapes — shakuhachi, koto, and soft ambient tones — for deep sleep, meditation, and quiet nights. 🌅 Tonight's scene: 尾根下に広がる雲海・表題曲. A note on this scene: On clear, windless autumn mornings, night-cooled air pools in Japanese valleys and condenses into an unkai, a 'sea of clouds' that drowns the villages and leaves only ridgelines afloat. 00:00:00 Sea of Clouds below the Ridge 00:03:31 Above the Sleeping Valley 00:06:58 Daybreak Moon over the Cloud Sea 00:10:21 Islands of the Far Peaks 00:13:49 Slow Tide of the Clouds 00:17:16 First Gold on the Cloud Crests 00:20:34 Wind Holds Its Breath 00:23:46 Sunrise Spilling over the Rim 00:27:29 The Last Star Dissolves 00:30:47 The Clouds Give Back the Village 00:34:15 Sea of Clouds below the Ridge 00:37:46 Above the Sleeping Valley 00:41:13 Daybreak Moon over the Cloud Sea 00:44:36 Islands of the Far Peaks 00:48:04 Slow Tide of the Clouds 00:51:31 First Gold on the Cloud Crests 00:54:49 Wind Holds Its Breath 00:58:01 Sunrise Spilling over the Rim 01:01:44 The Last Star Dissolves 01:05:02 The Clouds Give Back the Village (total 68m30s) 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.
