Male Chanting and Bell Tolling in Temple in Japan

Japan, Tokyo Prefecture東京都

A male voice chanting in presumably Japanese with very little melodic variation within a temple in Japan. There is a large amount of natural reverb. Halfway through, a bell is struck three times. The bell is allowed to ring out as the chanting diminishes.

Unfortunately, there is a bit of HVAC noise or similar as background noise. A more skilled sound engineer may be able to remove it.

Recorded on a Zoom H1N in March of 2023 in a temple in Tokyo, Japan, on a rainy day. The HVAC noise may be rain on the roof, I can't remember.

Edited to increase overall volume, and trimmed to remove the record start/stop sounds.
