Earphones on, eyes closed: A Quiet New Year in Japan | Japanese Bedtime Story
Lanterns of Japan: bedtime stories that take you to Japan. Put on your earphones, close your eyes, and visit Japan before you sleep. Follow for your next night in Japan.
Join a fictional family visit across New Year’s Eve and New Year’s morning in Japan. A small task with black soybeans connects a shared bowl of soba, a walk to a temple bell, and the food box opened the next morning. Cultural details are sourced; the people and places are imagined, and practices vary. This is an invitation to rest, not a promise of sleep.
