This recording was taken on December 27, 2005 at a tea house in Daisen Park (大仙公園) located in Sakai, Osaka.
Recorded by Komura Jutaro.
Polski: Nagranie dźwięku suikinkutsu, rodzaju japońskiej ozdoby ogrodowej i zarazem instrumentu muzycznego, który składa się z glinianego naczynia zakopanego dnem do góry, z małym otworem w dnie. Wewnątrz znajduje się trochę wody i krople skapujące przez otwór wydają przyjemny dźwięk pluskania, który dzwoni wewnątrz naczynia.
