Uncanny Japan - Japanese Folklore, Folktales, Myths and Language
Society & Culture:Places & Travel
Story Time: Of a Mirror and a Bell (Lafcadio Hearn) (Ep. 31)
Story Time is a little bit different than the usual Uncanny Japan podcast. Instead of me telling you about some interesting, odd, or spooky tidbit, I'll be reading you a story. This is something I do over on Patreon once a month. There I call them Bedtime Stories and they're more varied, from obscure pieces of folklore I find, translate, and slightly reimagine (for the story's sake), to pieces I discover in the public domain and sometimes even my own work. But that's that.
Here on Uncanny Japan, I've decided to also occasionally visit story telling. The folktales will be different than the ones on Patreon and I'm going to start with some of Lafcadio Hearn's wonderful pieces that are up on Gutenberg.
Another thing, on the regular Uncanny Japan podcasts I use my binaural mics to record ambient sounds from my little part of Japan. However, with the Story Time episodes I'll be using a music bed provide by my musician son, who also does the intro/outro music. Julyan Ray Matsuura. Here and here. And here.
