Japanese Tale for Sleep: The Black Bowl

Welcome back dreamy listeners! Tonight we will drift off to a beautiful Japanese tale called 'The Black Bowl'. This is an old Japanese folktale that was collected and then later retold by author Grace James in the 1900's in her book called 'Japanese Fairytales'. I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved narrating it for you! May this storytelling bring you peace and a restful sleep!Your friend, Joanne Attributions:Intro music 'Kimono of Tears by Mandala Dream via Epidemic SoundNarration music 'And There  You Were' by Christian Andersen via Epidemic SoundThis podcast is 100% listener-supported, completely ad-free, and made possible by wonderful listeners like you.
