About this listen

"WA" is a Japanese word that describes, or encompasses, the “essence” of what it is to “be Japanese”. This spirit is intricately woven throughout these stories as fantastic creatures, fearsome monsters, animals that are all too human, and people that are, well, all too human too. They make choices and fateful decisions that'll take each character on journeys that are terrifying and miraculous, whimsical and thought-provoking, mysterious, magical, and uniquely Japanese.

Come along and join them, as life’s lessons are learned, or sometimes not. Where bravery, trickery, kindness, inspiration, triumphs, and blunders all play their part. Where the wisdom of the ages, as told by those with experience, fills these pages with tales of awe, as well as “WA” and wonder!
