We’re closing out our Japanese triptych with a slice of urban legends that might leave a metallic taste in your mouth. Lindsay takes us all the way to the Edo period to share the origins of the Kuchisake-Onna, or The Slit-Mouthed Woman. After sharing the lore behind the story, and bringing us all the way back to modern Japan, Lindsay discusses the truths behind the legend that helped it take over this island nation and grip it, and its citizens, in fear of beautiful women in trench coats. We hope you enjoyed your experience exploring the unique and flavorful offerings of our Japanese trilogy.
