WHY JAPAN? by Sophie

Two ways into Japan, in English.

WHY JAPAN? — one question about Japan, answered in about ten minutes. Why did samurai carry two swords? Why is a sumo bout over in five seconds? Why does Japan have more shrines than convenience stores? A new episode every Friday.

Japanese Night Tales — old folktales, ghost stories, and samurai legends, told quietly. For sleep, for long journeys, for nights when you need a story. A new tale every week.

This channel is made in Japan by a Japanese creator. The stories, the writing, and the choices are all mine.
