How well do you know Japan? [mysterious music] Do you know why so many stone statues of ojizo and foxes wear red bibs and have pinwheels clicking softly beside them? Are you familiar with the once-popular beauty recipe of mixing rusty nails and iron scraps in a tincture of vinegar and strong tea, all so you can dye your teeth the most stunning shade of black? I'm author Teresa Matsuura, and for over 35 years I've been exploring the hidden, fascinating, and sometimes terrifying corners of a country I call home.
If you too are charmed by Japan and want to learn a little more about these obscure bits of culture, or if you just wanna put on your headphones, close your eyes, and relax while listening to me tell you about a yokai that licks the scum from your drain with its disturbingly long tongue, then Uncanny Japan is for you.
Now broadcasting from Specter Vision Radio, you can find and follow me on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
