402: Japanese folklore: Misconceptions

from Myths and Legends Hosted by Jason Weiser, Carissa Weiser, Nextpod

🐸Love means never having to say I'm sorry (I poisoned you)"🐸 ...or something like that. This Valentine's Day there are three love stories from Japan. On the first, a man moves on after becoming a widower (kind of), on the second, two frogs fall out of love...with a place, and on the third, the whole world is in love with a geisha. 😈 The Creature: Maikubi (舞首) Three heads that don't so much as dance as they do bite each other and sink ships. --- Links Disclaimer: https://myths.link/402 42 Rubber Chickens: https://myths.link/42rubberchickens 🎧 Connect with us!
