    #03 Akaname - The Bathroom Licker
    Oct 9 2022

    Join me in the third episode of Bestiary of Japan to discuss the Akaname, a dirt-licking demon that only has one purpose. Demons, or Youkai in Japanese, are not always glorious. In fact, some of them often have boring menial purposes for being alive, but that's what makes Japanese creatures so fastenating. They have an amazing amount of variety to them that can range from being god-lick to licking dirt in old houses. Journey with me as I explore them week by week!
