Episode Description:
The third Monday of July is Umi no Hi (???), Marine Day, so this month on Uncanny Japan I decided to talk about three otherworldly ocean creatures: Ship Goddesses, Boat Ghosts, and Sea Monks. Funa dama (??), funa yurei (???), and umi bozu (???).
This month’s Bedtime Story (over on Patreon) is a folktale I translated called: The Umbrella Sea Monster.
Notes: The intro/outro music of Uncanny Japan is a song by Christiaan Virant (from the album Ting Shuo).
