A collection of oriental brass instruments. Komorebi means “sunlight shining through the trees.” The word describes the beauty and wonder of rays of light breaking through the foliage overhead, casting dancing shadows across the forest floor.
The Komorebi Flutes are a traditional oriental Japanese/Chinese wind instrument ideal for scoring, electronic and meditative music production. Like traditional Japanese and Chinese mask magic, the magical Komorebi Flutes have many “faces”: they can make a calming “zen” sound, but they can also scare you.
