Soukou and 417Hz | When Dew Becomes Frost — What Japan’s Last Autumn Solar Term Really Means

Soukou, the eighteenth of Japan's 24 solar terms, is the last term of autumn — the season the dew finally turns to frost. A cultural and scientific look at Soukou: the 72 micro-seasons, how autumn leaves actually redden, the old warning of frost and hard ice, and dried persimmons — laid gently over 417Hz, the Solfeggio tone of change. No claims of effect, only honest reflection.

No claims of effect, only honest reflection.

No claims of effect, only honest reflection.
