Koi Pond at Midnight 🌙 Japanese Sleep Music | Shakuhachi & Koto for Deep Sleep #4

Koi Pond at Midnight. One hour of gentle Japanese soundscapes — shakuhachi, koto, and soft ambient tones — for deep sleep, meditation, and quiet nights. 🌙 Tonight's scene: arriving at the stone garden pond at blue dusk. A note on this scene: The koi in Japanese garden ponds descend from carp bred in the mountain villages of Niigata since the early 1800s — first kept for food through the snowbound winters, then prized once they turned to color. On a still night, the pond holds a second moon. 00:00:00 Koi Pond at Midnight 00:02:52 Stone Edge in Blue Dusk 00:05:55 Full Moon on Still Water 00:13:54 Slow Ripples Widening 00:16:28 Reeds Along the Bank 00:19:32 A Lantern's Warm Reflection 00:22:06 Where the Water Holds the Sky 00:24:59 Moonlight Breaks on the Surface 00:28:05 The Deepest Hour by the Pond 00:30:58 Mist Lifts Before the Dawn 00:34:04 Koi Pond at Midnight 00:36:56 Stone Edge in Blue Dusk 00:39:59 Full Moon on Still Water 00:47:58 Slow Ripples Widening 00:50:32 Reeds Along the Bank 00:53:36 A Lantern's Warm Reflection 00:56:10 Where the Water Holds the Sky 00:59:03 Moonlight Breaks on the Surface 01:02:09 The Deepest Hour by the Pond 01:05:02 Mist Lifts Before the Dawn (total 68m08s) 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.
