Dive into the Sound of Nature: 'THE WAVE'
On June 6, 2026, the picturesque Komyo-in, a serene sub-temple of the famous Tofuku-ji in Kyoto, will transform into a unique soundscape for 'THE WAVE', the latest installment of the 'TIME & SPACE ™︎' project by MOON LLC.
Embracing Nature Through Sound
Founded in 1391, Komyo-in is affectionately known as the 'Temple of the Rainbow Moss' and features beautifully designed gardens that reflect a perfect harmony between moss and sand. This anthropocentrism is about to shift as the temple prepares to host its fifth performance under the sound philosophy that encourages communion with the natural world.
The event, scheduled to start at 19:00 after doors open at 18:00, will showcase an ambient live performance where sound and nature intertwine effortlessly. Not just a feast for the ears, 'THE WAVE' invites attendees to engage with the very essence of what it means to exist in harmony with our surroundings.
The Artists
The event will feature a lineup of talented artists including:
- - Kanki Gensuke on guitar, who brings a melodic touch to the performance.
Instagram
- - SHOW-GO, a beatbox artist whose unique sound will resonate through the gardens.

- - KND, who will handle PA and DUB, ensuring an immersive experience for all.

Additionally, natural sounds contributing to this multi-dimensional experience will be recorded within the temple's lush gardens. Participants will be encouraged to listen closely and find a moment of stillness amidst the vibrant energy that nature has to offer.
The Concept Behind 'THE WAVE'
The underlying philosophy of the event, 'TIME & SPACE ™︎', revolves around the notion that everything emits its unique 'Wave.' From the colors we see to the sounds we hear and even the emotions we feel—everything is interconnected. This gathering at Komyo-in aims to dissolve the barriers between the individual and the universe through auditory experiences.
Within the tranquil gardens, visitors will witness how human beings can engage with the natural world. This creativity invites us to consider profound questions: What do stones feel? How does the wind observe? These inquiries span beyond our understanding to connect us to the life surrounding us.
