Hōichi the Earless: A Lafcadio Hearn Reading (Ep. 182)
Episode 182
Tuesday, 4 November, 2025
A blind musician is summoned to perform in the darkness. But who is listening? And what terrible price awaits a moment's oversight? Today I read to you one of Lafcadio Hearn's most famous Japanese ghost stories: "Mimi-nashi Hōichi" or "The Earless Hōichi."
