🍁 Autumn in Kyoto 🌇 Temple Sunset Lofi｜Koto & Shakuhachi｜40 min for Study & Sleep｜霜降 Soko

Autumn in Kyoto lofi — Japanese lofi beats with koto and shakuhachi on a temple veranda, from golden hour to nightfall. For study, work and sleep. 🍁 Welcome to Engawa Records 霜降（Soko）は二十四節気の第18番目、10月23日頃。朝晩の冷え込みが増し、露が霜に変わりはじめる頃です。山は紅葉の盛りを迎え、秋の最後の節気として、季節は静かに冬へ向かいます。京都の古い寺の濡れ縁は、庭と堂のあいだにある場所です。西日が床板に長い影を落とし、空が茜に染まり、紅葉が逆光で透ける。日が落ちると庭は青く沈み、石灯籠にひとつ火が入る。やがて行灯の明かりだけが残ります。霜の前の最後の残照を、ただ眺める40分です。 Soko, the 18th of the 24 solar terms (around October 23), is "frost descent" — the point in autumn when the nights turn cold enough for dew to become the first frost. It is the last solar term of autumn, and the maples in the hills are at their peak. The wooden veranda of an old Kyoto temple sits between the garden and the hall. Low western sun lays long shadows across the floorboards, the sky turns madder red, and the maple leaves glow as the light passes through them. When the sun is gone the garden sinks into blue, and a single flame is lit in the stone lantern. In the end only the paper lamp is left. These 40 minutes are the last light before the frost, from golden hour to nightfall. ─────────────────────────────── 🎵 TRACKLIST ─────────────────────────────── 0:00 West Light on the Veranda 3:12 Incense, Thin Smoke 6:26 The Bell Before Dusk 9:44 Sky Turning Persimmon 12:57 Soko, Frost Descending 16:20 Maples Against the Sun 19:34 Crows Going Home 22:33 Blue Hour on the Stones 26:06 The Stone Lantern Is Lit 29:38 Cold in the Sleeves 33:31 One Lamp, Paper Door 36:54 Frost by Morning ─────────────────────────────── 🎋 THE 24 SEKKI JOURNEY ─────────────────────────────── ▶ NEXT SEKKI → To be updated ◀ PREVIOUS SEKKI ←    • 🍁 Autumn Leaves Afternoon 🍵 Japanese Lo-Fi...   🎋 FULL JOURNEY:    • 京都の四季 / Kyoto Seasons Mix   ─────────────────────────────── 🏮 ABOUT ENGAWA RECORDS ─────────────────────────────── 「縁側」は、家の内と外の境目にある、木の床の小さな空間。 雨の日も晴れの日も、そこに座れば時間の流れが少し遅くなります。 縁側レコードは、そんな曖昧な時間を音にしたLo-Fiレーベル。 尺八、琴、三味線、雨音、風鈴 ── 日本の音をLo-Fiビートに溶かし込んで、 あなたの作業や眠りに寄り添います。 "Engawa" is the wooden veranda of old Japanese homes — a quiet space between inside and outside, where time slows down whether it rains or shines. Engawa Records is a lo-fi label that captures those in-between moments. Shakuhachi flute, koto strings, shamisen, rainfall, wind chimes — Japanese sounds melted into lo-fi beats to accompany your focus, your rest, your in-between hours. For studying. For sleeping. For the moments in between. ─────────────────────────────── © COPYRIGHT ─────────────────────────────── © 2026 Engawa Records. All music AI-generated using Suno AI Pro. All visuals AI-generated.
