We all have our own demons. The thoughts and reflections that gnaw at our happiness and our sanity. It is a constant struggle that, as we will explore in this episode, is a tale as old as recorded history. For a new take on demons, we go to Japan to explore the myth of the oni and its similarities to our own cultural icons of wickedness. Whether it’s conquering the fear and anger inside of us or a corruption that pervades our society, the demons we face always leave a small part of themselves with us.
