sound of a valley stream
Literary or poetic term for the murmuring or rushing sound of a mountain stream.
When you listen closely to the sound of the valley stream, it feels as if your heart is being cleansed.
Standard kanji form; 渓 means 'mountain stream' and 声 means 'voice/sound'.
Variant using 谿, an older or less common character for 'valley'.
Compound of 渓 (kei, 'mountain stream') and 声 (sei, 'voice, sound'). The exact historical origin is uncertain, but it is a Sino-Japanese word (kango) used in classical and literary contexts.
