episode 24: A Bedtime Story: Kachi-Kachi Mountain (PG Version)


Episode 24 of Uncanny Japan is a story, a Bedtime Story. Here I read to you my retelling and reimagining of a classic Japanese folktale Kachi Kachi Yama (Kachi Kachi Mountain). There are quite a few versions of the story out there. This one is very PG and everyone friendly. The more true-to-the-original and very slightly R-rated is over as extra content on Patreon.

Visit the Uncanny Japan website to read the show notes and transcript.
