"This sound is water dripping from an overhanging rock. The sound is dull because the dripping falls on moss. Yakushima Island has a lot of rain. As a result, a lot of moss grows there. On the island, a universe of gardens in nature are formed similar to the Moss Garden in Kyoto. The sound of running water, heard through the drips, is from a mountain stream."
