Story Time: The Jellyfish Takes a Journey (plus eel and seppuku!) | Uncanny Japan Podcast (Ep. 57)

Описание: Ever wonder why a jellyfish looks the way they do? Well, the Japanese folktale "The Jellyfish Takes a Journey" (Kurage no Honenashi) tells you how that came about. Then after that folktale, I'll give you a little trivia about the connection between eel and seppuku.

===

Would you like me to tell you a Bedtime Story? Once a month, for my five dollar and up Patrons, I find obscure Japanese folktales that I translate, retell/reimagine, and then record with cool background music. Some are funny, some are creepy, and some are just weird.
