The Japanese Tree With A Human Face
Thersa Matsuura of Uncanny Japan joins the Loreboys for a tale with more human faces than you’ve had hot dinners with human faces*. We look at a bunch of Yōkai that can take a look right back at us. From fish with a face to a blister with a kisser, these jinmen will give you the jitters. Especially the fish, because they’re real. (No seriously… there are videos.)
* Unless you dine exclusively on McCain’s Smiles.
Join us for another Loremen Live in Oxford on 25th May:
