**SHOUTOUTS at the end!**
Wel­come my folk sto­ry lovers!

I have you an old 1908 Japan­ese Folk Sto­ry episode — let­ters com­piled by one friend of author Yei Theodo­ra Oza­ki into a com­pi­la­tion of tra­di­tion­al Japan­ese folk tales.
And this time I have for you The Sto­ry of Urashima The Fish­er­man Lad. His kind heart leads him on a jour­ney to anoth­er realm. A realm of #japan­ese #myth and #leg­end. Being kind opens up doors for Urashima, doors that can nev­er be closed, and once he realis­es the cost of enter­ing such a realm, there’s no going back, or so it seems. Join me on today’s episode of the strange and out of this world with an old #Japan #folk­sto­ry.
Thank you so much for lis­ten­ing the #pod­cast mates! And a big thank you to all of you love­ly con­trib­u­tors.
Send me your own sto­ries and rec­om­men­da­tions because you’re awe­some:
