Kon’nichiwa! Ikaga o-sugoshi deshita ka. Hello! How have you been? This week, I have leapt several thousand miles that-a-way and landed in the forest of Japan for a famous and much-loved folk story. Shitakiri Suzume, or the Tongue-Cut Sparrow.The Japanese love this tale, and famously it has been turned into a dance, the suzume-odori, which is often performed in parades with set moves and fans. It isn’t a hard dance, but it looks like a lot of fun.This is my version of the story based on the one by Yei Theodora Ozaki. I have a different ending to hers to reflect a lot of other versions, plus a little twist of my own!Here are some links for you:Twitter: https://twitter.com/DITDFpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/deepinthedarkforest/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deepinthedarkforest/And the audiobook Lost in Tokyo by Garrett Wilson: https://cchogan.com/audiobooks/lost-in-tokyo/
