Find calm with Cate Le Bon and Japanese joinery

Welsh musician Cate Le Bon reads from her book of Japanese joinery, accompanied by gentle music from 大象传媒 Introducing.

There鈥檚 something very beautiful and peaceful about the sound of a sharp chisel slicing through wood and the click of a precise joint going into place, according to Welsh musician Cate Le Bon. Inspired by her love of traditional woodworking, Cate reads from The Art of Japanese Joinery by Kiyosi Seike, carefully articulating the various joints found within, alongside gentle music from 大象传媒 Introducing, to help lull you to sleep.
