It is that time of the year again. Another late Halloween short story. Tonight I bring you a tale about a martyred anarcho-communist abbot who rallied farmers from his Zen temple in the mountains until the Meiji authorities caught him. Love, horror and revolutionary violence.
I took plenty of freedoms with the story to make the characters come alive. The protagonist's fate is true as told. So too are the words of his political sermon which is read in parts when Uchiyama Gudō and Midori falls in love in the meditation hall. I hope you will enjoy it.
In preparation for this ep I went on a road trip paying my respect at Gudō's grave. A rainy night that ended up lasting a week. I got lost in the mountains, slept in my car, a net-cafe and lodged at a cheap pension by the Izu ocean. Thanks to all the patreons that keep me going.
