Once again it's time for another podcast, but this time we thought we'd do something a little different...

It should be no secret to anyone who visits this blog that we love Japan. Love love love it. The Japanese have graced us with some of the world's most beautiful art and culture. Their visual art, film, philosophy and their music paint an enduring portrait of the gifts they've given us. It seems right that this podcast should be for them.
