KAWADOKO — 川床 | Japanese Shamisen & River Sounds for Summer Nights, Sleep & Calm

TRADITIONAL JAPANESE MUSIC FOR SLEEP, STUDY & CALM — A NEW SOUNDSCAPE FOR EVERY SEASON On summer evenings in Kyoto, wooden platforms called "kawadoko" are built out over the river. Rows of paper lanterns are strung along them, and people gather to eat, talk and cool themselves above the running water. The lantern light spills across the current in long golden ribbons, and the river carries its sound up through the floorboards all night. On one of these platforms sits a young woman in a summer kimono, playing the shamisen. Her plucked notes fall into the water sound and drift downstream with it. The heat of the day is gone. Let these 2+ hours of river and shamisen carry you into deep sleep, quiet focus, or a still summer evening of your own. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Use this sound for: • Deep sleep and rest • Study, work & deep focus • Meditation and mindfulness • Easing stress and anxiety • A calm atmosphere at home, café or restaurant ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Chapters: 0:00 Riverside at Dusk 2:16 Shamisen Over the Water 4:28 Lanterns Lit One by One 7:18 Moon on the River 10:26 Lantern Light Shimmering 13:05 Strings by the Current 15:36 Evening Cool 17:31 Deepening Night 19:41 Moonlit Water 22:58 The Last Lantern (the soundscape gently repeats to fill 2+ hours) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ More from Wabi Sound: 🏮 TORONAGASHI — 灯籠流し (Shakuhachi & Floating Lanterns) ▶ [   • TORONAGASHI — 灯籠流し | Japanese Shakuhachi A...  ] 🎐 YOIYAMA — 宵山 (Shamisen & Summer Festival Night) ▶ [   • YOIYAMA — 宵山 | Japanese Shamisen Ambience ...  ] 🎋 TANABATA — 七夕 (Shamisen & Starry Night) ▶ [   • TANABATA — 七夕 | Japanese Shamisen & Starry...  ] ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🇯🇵 京都の夏の風物詩、川床。提灯の灯りと川のせせらぎ、三味線の音色が涼を運びます。睡眠・作業・癒しに。 🇰🇷 교토 여름의 정취, 가와도코. 등불과 강물 소리, 샤미센 선율이 시원함을 전합니다. 🇨🇳 京都夏日风物诗「川床」。灯笼之光、潺潺流水与三味线之音带来清凉。适合睡眠、工作与放松。 🇹🇼 京都夏日風物詩「川床」。燈籠之光、潺潺流水與三味線之音帶來清涼。適合睡眠、工作與放鬆。 🇪🇸 Terrazas sobre el río en Kioto.
