Why Matsuo Bashō fell in love with a snail | Boring History For Sleep

Описание: Tonight, we travel back to the quiet, damp solitude of 17th-century Japan to visit a small hut made of bamboo and paper. There are no samurai battles here, no political intrigues, and absolutely no loud noises. Instead, we join the famous poet Matsuo Bashō as he engages in his most important daily task: watching a garden snail move very, very slowly across a stone.

In this episode of Bed-Time History, we explore the "boring" but beautiful daily life of the Edo period. Discover why Bashō nicknamed his home after a banana plant, how he found profound meaning in a tiny creature’s disappearance, and why he compared a garden pest to the majestic Mount Fuji.

This story is designed to be low-stakes, gently humorous, and incredibly slow-paced to help you disconnect from the modern world and drift into a deep sleep.

About Bed-Time History: We turn the most mundane, overlooked, and surprisingly cozy moments of the past into sleep-inducing stories. We believe that history doesn't have to be dramatic to be interesting—sometimes, it just needs to be quiet. If you suffer from insomnia, anxiety, or just need a break from the noise of the 21st century, you are in the right place.
