Acoustic Effects of the Wooden Coffin

Inside the wooden coffin,
bass tones are naturally enhanced,
and treble is slightly absorbed and diffused.
As a result,
the sound feels three-dimensional, warm, and mellow
creating a unique listening experience.
There is also a subtle psychological element.
When lying down with reduced visual stimulation,
we tend to focus on the overall resonance rather than sonic details.
This creates a sense of being enveloped rather than stimulated,
making you feel the texture of sound more than its clarity.

    12:00〜 / 14:00〜 / 16:00〜 18:00〜

How about Michael Jackson? You might want to dance in the coffin. Now that would be a real Thriller, haha!

I had them play classical music. Listening inside the coffin, I felt as if I was entering into the music itself.

Visitor Testimonials

It felt like a living funeral for one person.

I was remembering my late grandmother.

I truly realized that life is only once, so I must cherish it.

While inside the coffin, I was able to become completely empty.

I was so relaxed that I fell fast asleep.
