We're back with a look into the history behind tattooing in Japan. It didn't always have the same connotations it does now, so let's delve into its origins this episode

And from Heather she has a new annonymous Senryu for us to enjoy today.

We take a little look today at the work we did to create the 2nd Year of our show, and get a little distracted a long the way talking about life in Japan.

Perhaps we should look into a Bonus Episode where to talk more about life here in Japan?

Anyway, we hope you enjoy todays episode.

Today we tell the horror story of the Fuji Cave, the story we came across when we told the tale of Yasuke. Its a dark tale of punishment and death, and not for the faint of heart. And to end out the show today we have a Senryu from Heather.
