Scams in Old Time Japan
James dazzles Alasdair with a selection of grifts, scams and swindles from Edo period Japan. Marvel at the adventures of the legendary Hikoichi, featuring a bucket of fish-guts, a red-faced demon (literally and figuratively) and pub-based nudity.
This marks the Loremen’s long-awaited return to the shed / garret livestream format. If you want to witness it all with moving images (and an hour of extra “content”), head over to our YouTube Channel.

The Loremen are Alasdair Beckett-King & James Shakeshaft.
