As night draws its velvet curtain around us, we drift into the ancient landscapes of the Jomon period, a time when humans and nature whispered to each other in a language lost to the din of modern life. In the hushed echoes of the forest, by the rhythmic lapping of river waters, and under the expansive gaze of mountain silhouettes, these people crafted their lives and legends into ceramics marked with the swirls of the earth itself. Each piece tells a story, not just of survival, but of a profound harmony and reverence for every leaf, stone, and creature that shared their world. Let us unwind the threads of time together, discovering how the artistry and spirituality of an ancient civilization can guide us into a peaceful slumber.This episode is hosted by Abigail Johnson.
