Cursed Objects

Big in Japan


Listen Later

The Simpsons are going to (have just been to) Japan! And they’re here to tell you about what they did on their holidays – to discuss sustainable Japanese craft techniques, heated toilet seats, and a proliferation of cheap disposable plastic. Here are some of our key findings: 

  • Don’t mistreat the indigo vats.
  • Japanese culture is trending.
  • £4 bowls of ramen! (Four pounds Jeremy, that’s insane.)
  • You can find William Morris paper cups in the 100Yen store.
  • A good loquat is hard to find.
  • Kasia wants to meet everyone’s siblings.
  • HUGE NEWS: Cursed Objects in Museum Shops, our first ever IRL exhibition, opens VERY soon. 2 May - 26 June, the Peltz Gallery near Euston station; details here

    CURSED OBJECTS LIVE: 8 May 2025, tickets are free, but you need to sign up via our Patreon - only £4 a month! And you get 30+ free bonus episodes - with a lot more new bonus episodes to come (just as soon as the exhibition is in place, and we get a chance to breathe).
