Being in an accident is scary.
But an JapanesePod101.com O-Bon Kaidan accident is a nightmare!
Today is the first day of O-Bon and this time we have a very special guest writer:
The legendary Japanese storyteller, Inagawa Junji. This is the second time he’s been gracious enough to let us use one of his stories.
We’re resurrecting the old Edo Period tradition of Hyaku Monogatari Kaidankai, a party where people got together to tell 100 ghost stories to pass the time in the summer heat. We’re only going to tell one story for each day of O-Bon, but we’re sure they’re as scary as 100 others.
You’re in for a treat this time!
Muahahahahaaaaa!
On Inagawa Junji’s website, you can learn about his upcoming performances and CD’s, DVD’s and iTunes downloads. We highly recommend checking him out, he is truly a modern Japanese cultural icon.
