Hello my friends and welcome back to the history of everything podcast live from japan. Well truthfully it is not live. We did plan on doing a big group episode together over the course of the trips but then 3 separate times everyone was like hey what if we went to all you can drink karaoke? And so we did that instead. Soooooo sorry about that

Anyway here we are in Japan, the land of the rising sun and we have have a series of questions that we thought would be fun to answer. Why was the emperor of Japan a God? Why does Japan have a penis festival? Why are roasted beans thrown to drive out evil spirits? Why are there so many rules in Japan about how to handle chopsticks? Well if you’ve ever been to Japan and stumbled across these beliefs or superstitions or if you’ve never heard of them. This episode will go over these superstitions and many more.
