Japanese Koto & Shakuhachi — Sakura Sleep 🌙 3H

Japanese koto and shakuhachi for deep sleep — a 3-hour zen mix from Tsukiyo Sounds. Tsukiyo (月夜) means "moonlit night" in Japanese. 🌙 Mix note: Fourteen koto-and-shakuhachi pieces for one spring night under the cherry blossoms — opening with the koto alone while the bamboo flute answers from far off, moving through a low midnight drone and a night breeze in the branches, and thinning into near-stillness as the last moonlight leaves the petals. Listen for the thin garden stream that never rises above a whisper, and for the long silence each instrument leaves before the other replies. We kept those pauses on purpose — like petals falling one at a time, never in a hurry. 選曲メモ：月夜の夜桜を、箏と尺八のデュオ14曲で描きました。序盤は箏がひとり奏で、遠くから尺八が応えます。中盤は真夜中の低いドローンと、桜の枝を渡る夜風。終盤は最後の月明かりが花から引いていくように、ほとんど静寂へ沈みます。聴きどころは、ささやきより大きくならない庭の細い遣水と、片方が応えるまでの長い間（ま）。その間は、花びらが一枚ずつ落ちるように、急がずに残しました。 Press play, dim the lights, and drift off under the moon. 🌙 Tsukiyo Sounds is a hand-curated library of Japanese zen music — koto, shakuhachi and soft ambience for deep sleep, meditation and quiet nights. New long mixes every week.
