Rainy Japanese Garden Series Begins: 40 Videos and Counting!
We’re excited to share a milestone for SleepForm Studio: the release of our 40th video on YouTube — filmed during a gentle rainstorm in Sydney’s Japanese Garden.
Watch the new video: Rainfall in the Japanese Garden
A New Series: Rainy Japanese Garden
This video also marks the beginning of our Rainy Japanese Garden Series — featuring the tranquil sights and sounds of a Japanese-style garden during wet weather, captured from multiple natural perspectives.
Expect to see:
- Raindrops falling into quiet ponds
- Water trickling over rocks
- Birds calling between showers
- Gentle visuals that invite stillness and focus
New videos in this series will be uploaded over the coming weeks, with matching YouTube Shorts.
A Series to Soothe You
There’s something deeply calming about watching raindrops fall into a quiet pond, listening to soft water trickling over rocks, and hearing distant birdsong between showers. That’s exactly what inspired this series.
Filmed during a peaceful storm, this ambient video showcases:
- Rainfall gently hitting the garden and pond
- Subtle sounds of water and wind in the trees
- Occasional birdsong, distant yet grounding
- Serene, natural visuals designed for deep rest
These soundscapes are perfect for:
- Sleep and relaxation
- Focus and study
- Stress relief or quiet background ambience
We’ll be uploading more videos from this series gradually over the coming weeks and months with matching YouTube Shorts, so stay tuned if you love rain, gardens, and tranquil soundscapes.
Inspiration
The project takes inspiration from the rain-soaked worlds of filmmaker Makoto Shinkai, whose works like The Garden of Words and Weathering with You capture atmosphere and emotion through weather, light, and reflection.
At SleepForm Studio, we aim to channel a similar mood — not through animation, but through real landscapes and natural soundscapes. Our Rainy Japanese Garden series invites you to step into these places as they are, filmed and shared with intention.
