Description
The year 2021 is the Year of the Ox according to the animal zodiac. But what does that mean? On today's show I'll talk a little about the character of people born in this year, what to expect in 2021, and why the ox -- who should have been the first animal in the zodiac lineup -- got beaten by a rat. I also have a super special announcement. Visit the Uncanny Japan website to read the show notes and transcript. Uncanny Japan is author Thersa Matsuura.

Kishibojin: The Mother of All Devils ー 鬼子母神 (Ep. 5): April's podcast is about Kishibojin, an ogress with a penchant for feeding human babies to her own children, but who was able to see the error of her ways and not only repent but reinvent herself as a goddess.
