Sport Canterbury has described Christchurch's new sport centre price blow-out as gob smacking. Contractor CPB has increased its claim by more than $200 million to $439 million, sparking a legal dispute with government delivery agency Rau Paenga — formerly Otakaro Limited. Sport Canterbury chief executive Julyan Falloon told Jack Tame the prospect of further delays is heartbreaking. “But to question Rau Paenga's design at this stage when the facility's 70 percent completed is sort of becoming a little bit farcical from our perspective.” The increased claim will bring the project's total value to $696 million.

On today's show we're going to revisit a live event Citizen Vinyl put on in August 2021. We invited a poet and a painter to talk about their creative efforts to revive an epic African folktale. Glenis Redmond, the "Afro-Carolinian poet" teamed up with British painter Julyan Davis  to produce a spoken word album called, "Cymbee." It's named after an African mermaid. Her legend traveled along with enslaved Congolese people who were brought to the shores of South Carolina.  In this episode we'll hear how Julyan first encountered the folktale and how Glenis weaves her own ancestry and identity in its retelling. 

On the latest episode of the ArtGrind, hosts Dina Brodsky and Marshall Jones spend an afternoon with Julyan Davis, painter and author.  Join Dina and Marshall as they discuss the importance of staying true to one's work, pricing and selling paintings, growing art scenes in burgeoning American cities and the question of whether art should be agony or joy.Hear it only on the ArtGrind.Julyan's webstie: LinkJulyan's IG: LinkEdited by Eric MonroeSupport the show (https://paypal.me/artgrindpodcast?locale.x=en_US)

Anne and Alison interview Julyan Davis, a British-American artist living in Asheville, North Carolina about growing up going to Catholic boarding school in England, the particular British outlook with low expectations, his new novel A History of Saints as a healing project, the patriarchy, murder ballads, and more. For more than thirty years he has painted the vanishing architecture of the South. Collaborating with musicians, historians, and writers, his traveling museum exhibits chronicle the folklore and lost histories of the region. 

Julyan Davis has evolved into a novelist in part through stubbornness but, as he sees it, also by necessity. Davis is far from blind, but degenerating eyesight has prompted visits over the past decade to ophthalmologists. "An ophthalmologist some years ago, I guess he skipped the semester on diplomacy, but he said 'What do you do for a living?' I said I'm an artist, and he said 'Oh that's a shame.'" Davis recalled. "I said 'What do you mean?' and he said 'Just down the road, it might be a problem with your eyes.' So that kind of inspired me to focus on the writing, sort of as a backup career." Davis has earned his living and public profile over nearly 30 years in Asheville as a painter. His first published novel is titled "A History of Saints." Davis is reading from his book Dec. 1 at Blue Spiral Gallery in Asheville, where he has presented his paintings for many years.

For our 50th episode, Alex sits with longtime friend Travis Julyan to talk about their memories growing up, wargaming, and how gaming and the armed forces mix!

A Muramasa blade is one of exceptional quality and great bloodlust. It’s called a youtou (妖刀) in Japanese. Depending on how you translate that, it could mean cursed sword, mystic sword, or demon sword. In this episode I talk about one of the most well known youtou made by Muramasa Sengo. You can also find me on: Twitter: https://twitter.com/UncannyJapan Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/uncannyjapan/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thersamatsuura Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uncannyjapan/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqAtoUS51HDi2d96_aLv95w Website: https://www.uncannyjapan.com/ Intro and outro music by Julyan Ray Matsuura: here. Dreamsphere 1 by Sascha Ende Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/196-dreamsphere-1 License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Transcript: Pre-Intro Intro: Have you ever seen a Japanese katana being made? The lump of glowing red steel  pounded by the sword smiths in time. It’s folded, thrust into a fire, and pounded again. This molten lump of tamahagane, a kind of impure steel, is forged, hammered, polished, and sharpened. The tsuba (guard), tsuka (handle) and saya (sheath) also need to be made with meticulous care. From beginning to end the whole process will take over a year to complete a single sword. Now imagine you have a master craftsman, a genius really, who creates the sharpest, strongest, and most deadliest of swords. But he might just be a madman. Or so the legend goes. A foul temper, single-minded concentration, and prayers whispered to the gods. Some say his own murderous spirit possessed the blades. Others say he made a deal with the devil. Whatever it was, this legendary swordsmith, Muramasa Sengo, created these Muramasa blades which also go by the name youtou (妖刀), you as in youkai, and tou meaning blade.  Depending on how you want to translate that, a youtou is a cursed sword, a mystic sword, or a demon sword. So today let’s talk about bloodthirsty blades. Intro: Vaccines in Japan: Hey hey, everyone. How are you? Better? Even a little bit? I certainly hope so. I’m doing fine, busy, antsy, nervous. They still haven’t started vaccinating anyone here in Japan yet. That despite our numbers going up and the UK strain being found not only in my prefecture, but in the city where my son works. So, you can imagine that my nerves are quite frazzled. It does sound like they’ll start vaccinating front line and other health care workers at the end of February possibly March. It’s funny. I was scratching my head about why almost every Japanese friend I talk to here isn’t gung ho to get the vaccine, at all. Then I remembered back when Julyan was a baby and getting his childhood vaccines. There was one that they made a big deal about, do you REALLY want to get this one the nurses asked. Are you sure? Um, yes? It turns out in the early 1990s, the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) shot was believed to be making quite a few children sick. I’m not sure how proven it was, but the government did lose a few court cases and the vaccination was pulled. I believe even to this day, MMR still is not given as a three in one jab. Anyway, there is a lot of one eyebrow raising around new vaccinations it feels. New Podcast - Soothing Stories Podcast: In other news: If you don’t know or haven’t heard, I am just about to launch another show called Soothing Stories Podcast. The plan was to have it on air on January 28th. However, we decided to launch with three episodes at once, instead of one, which it taking a little more time as you can imagine. So the new launch date is February 11th, my birthday. And a holiday in Japan. The catch copy is: “Helping you escape this addled world through high quality audio, immersive music, and smooth narration; one great story at a time.” We aim to be very headphone friendly and relaxing, albeit, if you know me at all, you know the stories I like aren’t necessarily mild-mannered. Case in point, two of the first three shows we’re going to put up are “The Masque of the Red Death” by Edgar Allen Poe and “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. So if you listen to this after February 11, the website is soothingstoriespodcast.com and the show should be available on most platforms you listen to podcasts on. Please give it a listen, and if you like it subscribe and maye leave a review? Today's Topic - Cursed Swords Youtou: Now, onto today’s show. You might not know this about me, but during high school and all through university I practiced kung fu. Ba gua, Tai qi and Hsing Yi, to be more specific. I got a Chinese broadsword at one point and fell in love. When I came to Japan to study at university here, the first thing I did was visit different clubs on campus to see which one I wanted to join. I had planned to enter the Aikido group, seeing as how the theory reminded me of the internal kung fu styles. But instead I fell head over heels in love with the kendo club. Swords! Anyway, I’ve had a couple listeners and patrons ask me to do an episode about swords or other Japanese weapons. There is so much interesting stuff out there, but this being my first on the subject, I want to start with the youtou, cursed blades. You can’t talk about youtou without mentioning Muramasu Sengo. An incredible sword-smith who lived during the Muramachi Era, think 14th - 15th centuries, which was Feudal Japan. It seems like while alive, his reputation was quite good. I mean he did make the best blades around, known for their quality, sharpness and strength. But after his death the rumors and legends began to turn more colorful and awful. So enticing they were that to this day it’s really hard to separate fact from fiction. The stories about Muramasa being not only a genius craftsman, but also wild and unpredictable and, is often written, on the brink of madness, are quite intriguing. That his swords actually had a bloodlust and gave their owners superhuman strength and resistance to pain on the battlefield, even more intriguing. But the story gets better. It’s said that the swords got to a point where they needed to draw blood. That once drawn, they had to strike someone down before being re-sheathed. If not an enemy, maybe a friend would do. Or, they would turn on their owner causing him to commit seppuku, ritual suicide. A note here. When performing seppuku, you don’t use your long katana. You use a shorter blade called a tantou. Now if you have a kaishakunin the person who performs kaishaku (your beheading) then I guess they could borrow that bloodthirsty Muramasa blade of yours for that purpose. I guess they could keep it, too. Because you won’t be needing it anymore. The funny thing is, I really couldn’t find anything on this in Japanese the Muramasa katana causing samurai to commit seppuku. If anyone knows anything or has read anything, please let me know. One of my great curiosities  in life, is how information and stories change when translated from one language to the next. So I kind of wonder if that’s just and English language thing, or not. Okay, back to the youtou, finally, the katana could, if circumstances were right, or wrong as the case may be, drive its owner insane. A couple unusual distinctions of a Muramasa sword. It had a Muramasa-ba, or edge. That’s that gorgeous wavy shape running along the blade. And the Muramasa-nakago where the tang of the sword is curved like the belly of a fish. The shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu gave the Muramasa swords the nickname youtou, cursed blades and made them illegal because he developed a great fear of them. The story is long and detailed but basically, Ieyasu’s grandfather, father, and first son were all killed by Muramasa swords. He son having been beheaded by one. Two Muramasa Blade Facts: Two more Muramasa facts before I go into a couple other youtou. Fact number one, I found really interesting — keep in mind that Japan and Russia have a chilly relationship — back in 2017, when then Prime minister Abe met Putin they exchanged gifts. Abe, knowing that Putin loved the sport, gifted Putin with a book about judo. What did Putin give Abe? A Muramasa sword! It was taken by American troops during WW2, somehow ended up in Russia and Putin ‘returning’ the sword to Japan was reported to be a sign of goodwill. Fact number two: Wolverine had a Muramasa blade and he might be getting another. There are other interesting and cursed blades out there and I’m still reading about them and taking notes, definitely going to do a part two to this. Muramasa and Masamune Legend: Let me end with a story. There is another master swordsmith out there. His name is Honjo Masamune and is thought to be the best sword maker ever. Now this is a great legend, but it’s interesting that it could never have happened because Honjo Masamune and Sengo Muramasa didn’t even live at the same time. Still, it’s a good tale. One day the wild and crazy Muramasa challenged his master, the calm and peaceful Masamune to a test to see who made the finer sword. They would suspend their best blades in a river with the cutting edge facing against the current. Muramasa was first. His katana was called the Juuchi Yosamu (10,000 cold nights). It cut through everything that flowed toward it. Leaves, fish, even the very air that blew by. Masamune was impressed. He hung his own sword that he had named Yawarakai te (soft or tender hands). They waited. But only leaves were cut. Fish did swim up to the blade, but they weren’t sliced. Muramasa laughed at his master and declared himself the winner. A monk, though, had been watching the whole scene. He came over, hold up. He explained what he’d seen. Muramasa’s katana was a fine sword, but it was blood thirsty and evil. It didn’t care what it sliced through. It could be slicing innocent butterflies or enemies heads. It didn’t matter. Masamune’s sword however was by far the better. It could differentiate between evil and good and wouldn’t needlessly kill an innocent life. There are actually a couple different versions of that story. They’re all pretty good. Ending: Okay, I’ll stop there for today. There is a lot of cool sword stuff out there. Like for example, one of my patrons asked about the extremely long and mysterious Norimitsu Oodachi. It’s 3.77 meters long and weighs 14.5 kilograms. Impossible for a samurai in the 15th century to carry. So was it ceremonial or perhaps wielded by a giant? I’m still reading up on that one. I hope to get an episode about it later this year. And finally, finally I have a podcast recommendation. If you’re at all interested in Japanese spirits (the alcohol variety, that is). Please give a listen to a show called Japan Distilled. It is Christopher Pellegrini and Stephen Lyman, both experts in the field and both have written books on the subject. The reason I know about it because my Uncanny Japan’s Rich Pav is sound engineer for them. It’s a fun, interesting, and really informative show. I’m not a big shochu or whiskey drinker, and I’m riveted. That’s Japan Distilled Podcast. Thank you every single one of you for listening, stay safe and well, and I will talk to you again in two weeks.

Like many artists, the Asheville painter Julyan Davis didn't feel much like painting this past spring, at the dawn of the pandemic. "I actually got quite depressed because I felt there was this extraordinary chance for the world to think, and I certainly didn't want to paint about it," he said. So Davis thought a bit, read the news a lot and, around June, began connecting the dots between what he wants to say on canvas and the times we're in. Davis' COVID paintings, as he calls them, are surrealist and mysterious, and they draw their dark, windswept color pallet and many of their old Appalachian settings from an earlier Davis' series he calls his "Murder Ballad" paintings.

Canada often considers its health care system to be the best in the world, but what will happen when that system starts running out of money due to government spending cuts? Alberta family physician Dr. John Julyan-Gudgeon explains his concerns regarding recent changes proposed by the Alberta government, which will cut health care spending that could negatively impact the millions of Canadians who call Alberta home. How does the Canadian health care system function and what does it tell us about single-payer systems being proposed in the United States? Dr. Ferguson and Dr. Julyan-Gudgeon dive deep into how family practice works in Canada, what makes it unique, and how influential the government can be when determining the level of care patients receive.

In 2003, Wesley Julyan was 18-years-old when he was convicted of the murder of Kenneth van Aardt. He and his accomplice had strangled the man with a shoelace, walking away from their horrendous crime with just R 70. Julyan was sentenced to 13 years in prison which was eventually increased to 20 years on appeal. He was paroled in 2009 after having served just 5 years of his sentence. Eight years later, four members of Wesley Julyan's family were found deceased after a house fire. His brother Jeffrey Julyan, Jeffrey's 9-year-old son Ethan, his 16-year-old stepdaughter Kayla and his father-in-law Peter, all perished, seemingly victims of the fire. Autopsy results and evidence found at the scene, though, would tell a very different story. https://crimesunlimited.com/podcast/ Visit our website for sources related to this episode: www.truecrimesouthafrica.com Sources · Link to Crimes Unlimited podcast · Instagram · Pinterest · Facebook · YouTube · Twitter · LinkedIn

It's almost Halloween, so for this episode of Uncanny Japan I'm going to tell you a spooky tale called Yotsuya Kaidan, the story of Oiwa and her sad and vengeful ghost. The last ghost story I told here was in episode 25, Okiku and the Nine Plates (Bancho Sarayashiki). Well, Yotsuya Kaidan's main character, Oiwa, is another one of the biggies, who I'm guessing is even more well known than Okiku. There are so many versions of this story, so here I'm going to tell you mine. I'm going to try and stick to the originals as much as possible without getting too complicated and character heavy. I do encourage you to look into other versions of the story if you're interested. There are so many adaptations out there. So go climb into bed, put on your headphones, turn out the lights, and let me tell you the story of Oiwa's ghost.   You can also find me on: Twitter: https://twitter.com/UncannyJapan Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/uncannyjapan/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thersamatsuura Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uncannyjapan/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqAtoUS51HDi2d96_aLv95w Website: https://www.uncannyjapan.com/ Notes: Intro/Outro and music bed by Julyan Ray Matsuura. Here and here. And here. Transcript Hey hey, everyone, it’s late October, almost Halloween and I’m in a spooky mood, so for this episode of Uncanny Japan, I’m going to tell you a ghost story. This is one of the biggies here. Remember I told you about Okiku and the Nine Plates back in episode 25. Well, today’s ghost, Oiwa, is just as if not more well known than our poor Okiku. Maybe you’ve heard of it, in Japanese it’s called Yotsuya Kaidan. I’ve said this before about other stories, but it holds up here as well. Yotsuya Kaidan is truly one of those tales where the bones of the story are so good you can riff off it endlessly and it still holds up. There have been so many movie, stage, and TV adaptations that I couldn’t even come up with a good number, so let’s settle for a lot. I’ve seen a couple of the old movies and even went to see the latest interpretation by Miike Takashi, called “Over Your Dead Body” the day it came out in theaters years ago. And I can attest, the story really seems to hold up no matter what slant you put on it. Today I’m going to tell you my interpretation, but instead of elaborating or bringing in any new elements (which is what I really want to do), I’m going to, as best as I can, stay close to and honor the originals, while not going to much into the weeds as far as characters and intrigue go. Also a kabuki play, Yotsuya kaidan can become quite complicated at times. So I hope you’re tucked into bed, headphones on, all the lights turned out, one candle lit on your bed stand, oh, and did you lock your doors? The story begins after dark on an empty dusty road with Iemon, an out of work masterless samurai, or ronin, on his knees in front of his father-in-law Yotsuya Samon. Samon is disgusted with Iemon who cannot take care of his daughter, Oiwa, in the manner he feels she deserves. While Iemon begs, Samon demands that they separate so the daughter he loves so much can have a better life. Iemon refuses. Samon then ridicules Iemon, telling him he isn’t a real samurai, not even a real man. He is an embarrassment. Iemon snaps. With one quick move he stands, draws his sword and cuts his father-in-law down in the street. Nobody is around to witness his act. Iemon then returns to Oiwa telling her something horrible has happened. Her father has been ruthlessly murdered. The young woman breaks down sobbing. She is heartbroken. She lost her mother to disease several years ago and now this. Iemon, though, comforts his young wife. He says he has heard rumor that the murderer has fled to a nearby town and that they should follow, so Iemon can avenge her father’s death. They quickly pack and with Oiwa’s faithful servant, Kohei in tow, the three head out on their long journey. Once there, Iemon and Oiwa start a new life. Though Iemon still cannot find work, Oiwa quickly gets a job in a teahouse to support them both and continue retaining the kind Kohei who she has great fondness for and thinks of as a little brother. While she works and Kohei keeps the house in order, her husband goes out daily, making the rounds, telling the story of his father-in-law’s vicious murder and boasting his vow of revenge. After several weeks, Iemon meets a very rich and very old doctor named Ito and his lovely granddaughter Oume. It isn’t long before the entire Ito family are taken in by Iemon’s charms. They believe his front of courage and honor. Soon Oume falls in love with Iemon and wishes to marry him. The old Itoh much like Oiwa’s deceased father, Samon, loves his granddaughter dearly and wants to give her what she desires. Daily he shows Iemon the rich and easy life he can have if Oiwa was out of the picture and he is free to marry his granddaughter, Oume. This goes on, Iemon spending his days with the Itos in their sprawling manor, only to return nightly to his cramped little house where Oiwa is waiting with a modest hot meal and conversation. Iemon is increasingly ill-tempered, imagining a better life with Oume. One night Oiwa pours his hot sake, excited to tell him a secret she’s been keeping. Instead, though, when she asks about his day, Iemon loses his temper and begins blaming her for their living conditions, for not working hard enough, keeping on the retainer Kohei when they barely have enough to eat between the two of them. It is because of her, he has such a wretched life. Oiwa tries to calm her husband, thinking he’s just upset about still being unable to find work and not yet discovering her father’s murderer. He calms down somewhat and she kneels before him, thinking the time is right, and reveals her secret, knowing that he has always wanted a son. She tells him that she is pregnant. At the news, Iemon flies into a rage and storms out of the house and straight to the Ito manor. It’s late, but he consults with the old doctor about his plight. How can he separate from Oiwa now that she’s pregnant? But the two converse long into the night and come up with a plan. Before Iemon returns home, the old doctor goes into his room and returns with a folded piece of washi paper. When Oiwa is feeling ill or tired from her pregnancy, slip this into her tea and have her drink it all, he says. Tell her it’s a tincture to help her regain her strength. After she drinks it, we will have no more worries about Oiwa or her child. Days go by with Oiwa working, offering no complaint, and showing no fatigue at all. Iemon continues his visits to the Ito household to court Oume and enjoy the lavish life they have to offer. However, one day when out on errand Kohei notices Iemon is acting strangely and follows him to the Itoh household where he witnesses the infidelity. He overhears Iemon and the old doctor confiding about past deeds as well. Kohei hurries to Oiwa’s teahouse to inform her of what he’s learned. He encourages her to leave Iemon, the two of them can run away and he will help her raise the child. But Oiwa still loves her husband and doesn’t want to believe what she’s been told. But she must ask. That night again sitting on the straw matted floor, Oiwa pouring cup after cup of sake for her husband, she mentions that she’s heard a rumor at the teahouse. Iemon drunk and indignant asks what that rumor might be. Oiwa tells him, hoping that he will deny it, promise her the affair isn’t true and that he only loves her. But that isn’t what happens. Iemon instead laughs, pushing himself up, unsteady on his feet, why of course he’s having an affair. Oume is young and beautiful and rich. That is the life he deserves. Oiwa collapses, heartbroken once again. She cannot bring herself to believe his betrayal. Iemon stumbles over to Oiwa’s vanity mirror and starts pulling out the drawers and emptying them on the floor. His words slurring from drink, he bellows that he will go to Oume tonight, that she will welcome him, but he must bring her a gift, something lovely. That’s when he finds the beautiful tortoise shell comb. This. He holds it up. Yamete, stop! Oiwa begs. Not that. It’s my mother’s comb. It’s all I have to remember her by. The two struggle. Kohei enters the room after being woken, to find that Iemon has passed out on the floor, Oiwa holds the comb to her breast and sobs. Kohei was right. The next day indeed Oiwa was not feeling well. The knowledge of her husband’s affair, her thought of raising a child alone. She can’t even return to her parents for help. They were both dead. Iemon still hadn’t even found who had murdered her father. So Oiwa stayed in bed all day. In one hand she clutched tight her mother’s tortoise shell comb, while with the other hand she gently rubbed her growing belly. Iemon didn’t leave the house that day. He stayed by her side, contrite and acting kindly.  Nothing was said of the previous night or her husband’s lover. Oiwa seemed to soften to him again. Kohei, however, was still suspicious. Iemon waited until after nightfall to act out his plan. He brewed his wife another cup of tea, but this time he withdrew the folded paper from his long sleeve and sprinkled into the drink. Kohei asked was it was and Iemon recited what the old doctor had told him. It’s a tincture to help her regain her strength, he said. Be sure to drink it all down. Oiwa did as directed and immediately cried out. Kohei rushed to her side. Oiwa writhed in pain, moaning then screaming out when the pain got to much to bear. What did you give her? Kohei demanded. Iemon stood over the two and refused to answer. You! Kohei spat, putting it all together. The whispers he’d heard when leaving their old home, the whispers he’d heard since coming here, even while hiding behind the paper windows of the Itoh house. You haven’t found Oiwa’s father’s murderer because you aren’t looking for him. It was you who killed Yotsuya Samon! Iemon laughed. Oiwa stilled long enough to push herself up from her futon and make eye contact with her husband. He nodded and she understood then, finally, what kind of man he was. “How could you betray me so? How could you. How could you do this? I will never forgive you. I curse you. You will never be free of me.” Oiwa cries out again in pain, this time grabbing at the right side of her face as she thrashes about. Iemon looks on and laughs. Oh, I will be free of you soon enough. Kohei leaps to his feet to attack the man, but Iemon draws his sword and slices him through. Kohei crumbles to the floor. Iemon wipes his blade. “It looks like I caught my wife having relations with another man. No one could possibly find me guilty for this act of passion.” He strides out of the house confident he will now live the life he deserves. Oiwa is utterly broken. She suffers alone, her retainer and friend Kohei dead at her feet, the poison eating her insides, her beloved child fading. I will take revenge on you, Iemon. No, you will never be free of me. Oiwa crawls over to her vanity mirror, the tortoise shell comb still in her hand. She sits down and seeing her reflection screams. Her long hair is wild and tangled about her head. The right side of her face is red and raw, her eye drooping. I will go to the Ito household. I will tell them what kind of man Iemon is, Oiwa says. But I must make myself presentable. I cannot go like this. She takes the tortoise shell comb and combs a long lock of hair, but the hair falls out in a bloody clump. No! Oiwa wimpers. She combs again and again, but every time her once long beautiful hair comes out in handfuls of tangled mess. Oiwa slides to the floor, cursing Iemon, as she takes her last breath. The following morning Iemon arrives back at the house with men in tow. When they see the state of Oiwa all of them gasp in horror. Iemon exclaims that she was having an affair and for them to take one of the wooden shudders from the windows and nail Kohei’s body on one side and Oiwa’s on the other and then toss it into the river. To which the men obey. Iemon believes he is free of his wretched wife and servant. His life takes an upturn and with much ceremony he marries the beautiful and rich Oume. That night they retire to the bedroom chamber, a room more luxurious than Iemon had slept in in a long time. One andon oil lamp is lit by their futon on the floor. Oume yawns and says how tired she is from the long day. She turns her back on her new husband as if to sleep. Iemon begins to stroke her long hair, telling her that they are finally man and wife, this is what they had wanted all along. Would she please turn over. Yes, husband, she says. But when she does, in the dim flickering light of the oil lamp, Iemon sees she is not the beautiful Oume but Oiwa with her hideous face and drooping eye. He pulls away and tangle of her hair in his hand. He yelps in fright, reaches for his sword,  and strikes the cursed face. A woman’s scream. Iemon feels dizzy, possessed. He shakes his head, clearing his vision. It is not Oiwa but Oume now that lies cut and bleeding on the futon. No, no no! Iemon calls out, he hears the laughter of Oiwa nearby, urameshiya, “I curse you. You will never be free of me. Oiwa’s face is reflected in the lamp nearby. He leaps from the bed, sword in hand and runs down the long hall to his father in laws room. He bangs on the door. Something terrible has happened, he says. The door opens only to reveal Oiwa again standing their in her nightclothes, disheveled hair, falling out, her hideous face. You betrayed me again and again and again. You will never be free of me.” The apparition then throws her head back and cackles. Iemon terrified to the bone, again raises his blade and brings it down. Oiwa crumbles. But when Iemon looks upon the fallen body, it is not Oiwa, but his father in law, dead. Iemon spends the rest of his days, short as they were, trying to escape the ghost of his murdered wife. But he finds no respite. Oiwa’s ruined face is everywhere, even the smoke from fire turns into her long main of hair. Iemon flees the town thinking if he is away from people, she cannot appear in their faces. There are several days where he thinks he has finally escaped her. That is until one day when hungry he decides to go fishing. Thinking he has hooked a large fish, Iemon wades out into the river, pulling hard on the line. Only to discover he has hooked the wooden shutter with Kohei and Oiwa’s body’s nailed to either side. Iemon screams falling to his knees. As the corpse of Oiwa turns her head and glares. You will never be free of me. The end If you’re as intrigued in the story as I am, I encourage you to look around for different versions, either written down, or in movie form. It’s fascinating to see the different takes on the tale. I just saw one where Iemon was a bit of a mama’s boy and she was the one who had her hand in making him leave Oiwa for Oume and every bad decision he made. Until he stood up to her, that is, but by then it was too late by then.  But don’t go looking too hard for her history. There’s another thing about her story that is both fascinating and frightening. It’s believed to be cursed. While the real Oiwa is said to have died in 1636, the rumor is her angry spirit or onryou is still around. Throughout the years, there have been many mysterious accidents and even deaths that have occurred to those involved in theater, film, and television adaptations of her story. The superstition is so prevalent that nowadays when anyone wishes to put on a production about Yotsuya Kaidan and Oiwa’s sad, horrible fate, they visit her grave or one of the shrines dedicated to her to pay respects and give some kind of offering. I don’t know how superstitious you are, but it is said that if you visit her grave out of curiosity, your right eye will become swollen and droop like hers. One last piece of trivia is that even recent J-Horror flicks from The Ring to Juon have scenes in the movies to pay homage to Oiwa. If you watch closely you’ll spot them. Today’s background music bed and sound design was brought to you by my son, Julyan. If anyone’s interested in his work for their own podcasts or whatever, shoot me a message. If you like these kinds of stories, I do them monthly for $5 and up Patrons, although not always scary, there are all kinds of tales depending on my mood.  Thank you all for listening, supporting, reviewing, messaging, emailing and spreading the word about Uncanny Japan. I’ve got some I will talk to you again real soon.

MultimediaLIVE — True Crime South Africa — In 2003, Wesley Julyan was 18-years-old when he was convicted of the murder of Kenneth van Aardt. He and his accomplice had strangled the man with a shoelace, walking away from their horrendous crime with just R 70. Julyan was sentenced to 13 years in prison which was eventually increased to 20 years on appeal. He was paroled in 2009 after having served just 5 years of his sentence. Eight years later, four members of Wesley Julyan’s family were found deceased after a house fire. His brother Jeffrey Julyan, Jeffrey’s 9-year-old son Ethan, his 16-year-old stepdaughter Kayla and his father-in-law Peter, all perished, seemingly victims of the fire.

Julyan Davis is a British native who moved to the American southeast 30 years ago on a hunch, that he would find the paintings he wanted to make in the people of these hills and hollers. "Where I grew up, it's very manicured. I was always sort of drawn to a more gritty landscape, and the South particularly interested me," Davis said. "The south has a great tradition of photography, but in painting, there wasn't really that, so I felt my work filled a niche. It was sort of discovering the beauty and melancholy of places that were generally falling down. It was the vanishing South, really."

(Transcript below) Next time you’re staring down into a rowdy school of koi, keep an eye out for the one that has a human face. This is a jinmengyo and rumor has it if you see one a tsunami is on its way. Newspaper reporting human-faced fish spotted in Korea after 14 years Or maybe if you’re lucky, you’ll get a glimpse of the nekomengyo/cat-faced carp. Which is much cuter until it grows those long legs and walks around at night.

Strange superstitions and old wives tales, cultural oddities and interesting language quirks. These are little treasures I dig up while doing research for my writing, and I want to share them with you here on Uncanny Japan. I hope you like the show. [00:00:28] Hey hey everyone, this is Uncanny Japan. It’s February and it’s my birthday, or it was my birthday last week sometime. In Japan, February 11th is a holiday, so everyone gets off, not to celebrate me, mind you, it’s actually kenkoku kinen no hi, or more excitingly, National Foundation Day; a day to commemorate the mythical beginnings of Japan when Jimmu became the very first emperor back in 660 BCE. [00:00:58] Speaking of long long ago, when I was in university, a Japanese exchange student was telling me about the very early history of Japan, and I thought he said the first emperor’s name was Emperor Jim, and I cracked up. Emperor Jim? Alas no, not Jim. His name is Jimmu, and the two characters that constitute the honorable Jimmu make up the coolest Japanese emperor’s name I’ve ever heard. 神 is the kanji for god, and 武 means warrior, military, or fierce. It’s the same mu in musha or musha-burui that I talked about on the very first Uncanny Japan two years ago. Musha means warrior, so Emperor Jimmu means “emperor god warrior.” He was also quite handsome if you are to believe the wood block depictions of him. Anyway, February 11th is also the day MacArthur approved the draft version of the Japanese constitution in 1946. So yeah, all in all it’s not a particularly interesting holiday here in Japan. People enjoy having the day off. Some put Japanese flags outside their homes or businesses, but otherwise I don’t see much that goes on. [00:02:07] Ok, on to today’s topic. If you’re not driving, walking your pup or otherwise in need of your vision, close your eyes and imagine you’re strolling through a Japanese garden. You’re on a narrow path of crushed gravel, meandering past moss-covered rocks and neatly trimmed trees. You pass an old ojizo statue wearing a dirty tattered red cap and bib. He smiles serenely as you continue to follow the downward sloping footpath until you reach the banks of a small jade-colored pond. You stop and look down. Your presence has invited dozens of brightly colored koi to the edge of the water. They crowd and roll over each other, sucking at the surface making big slurping noises with their cold fishy lips. They think you might have something delicious hidden in your pockets. You don’t however. So you just enjoy their silliness and their beautiful mottled colors. Gold, orange, black and white. And you’re almost feeling zen when you notice something strange about one of the fish. But before you can identify what it is that unnerved you, it’s lost again in the aquatic tussle. You think it was probably your imagination; your mind playing tricks on you and you’re just about to walk away when you see it again. This time there’s no mistaking. While the other fish continue to jostle each other for your attention, there is one fish, a little off to the side, and it’s looking right at you with the face of a man. Your blood turns cold in your veins because you have just been seen by a jinmengyo. The literal translation is a human-faced fish. [00:03:51] The way I learned about the jinmengyo was back when my son Julyan was in kindergarten. His best friend was a little girl who suddenly one day refused to walk to school. When pressed, we learned it was because under the little bridge we had to cross to get there was a river full of jinmengyos, or so she insisted. I remember soon after that feeding the koi with Julyan and us trying to spot one of these creepy creatures. I remember when we first saw one, too. [00:04:20] But let me back up a little bit. I really can’t figure out when the jinmengyo rumor first appeared in Japan, but back in 1990 the tabloid Friday published a photo sent in by a reader of a purported jinmengyo. And that caused quite the fuss. The picture was said to be taken in Yamagata Prefecture, Tsuruoka City, at a temple called Zempo-ji. People all over Japan went a little nuts, everyone trying to get a glimpse of their own human-faced fish. [00:04:48] The rumor eventually jumped the ocean and in 2015 jinmengyo were spotted in Korea and China as well. You can still find the tabloid pages online if you search around a bit. You might think the jinmengyo myth is 100% made up, but it’s not entirely. It’s based on this cool thing that happens to some carp. Their markings eerily resemble a human face–eyes, nose, sometimes a mustache or beard. When you’re looking down at a mess of koi and you spot one it is a tad disconcerting and it really does look like a human face looking up at you. I can understand why and my son’s friend was creeped out by all these men’s faces staring up at her. [00:05:28] There is also a superstition about the jinmengyo. It is said if one appears it means a tsunami is coming. This old wives tale is echoed in the Ghibli movie Ponyo. If you’ve seen the movie you know that Ponyo is a kind of jinmengyo herself. She’s got a fish body and a human head. I’ve seen the Japanese version, and in the scene and the retirement home with all the old people, one old woman says just this. If you see a jinmengyo, a tsunami is fixing to hit, which does happen in the movie. I haven’t seen the English language version but I’m guessing it says pretty much the same thing. [00:06:04] Here’s another interesting thing I found that’s related to the jinmengyo. There’s a Japanese game called Seaman by Sega Dreamcast that came out way back in 1999. The whole premise of the game is that you raise your own virtual pet, a pet that happens to be a human-faced fish named Gillman. This is by no means an action game but it garnered a cult status and won some awards. What makes it different than your normal virtual pet type game is that you can talk to your fish and your fish can talk back to you. And when I say talk back to you, that’s what I mean. It said that is really rude but in the end he’s kind of endearing. When you hatch your fish Gilman, at first it just makes cute baby sounds. But after a few days of your attention and love, it begins to talk in this hoarse voice. It begins asking you questions like how old are you, when’s your birthday. Stuff like that. So you raise and care for your man-fish and it in turn keeps you company and will eventually grow legs and become this weird amphibious creature. You spend so much time and energy with this thing that the creator said in the end it’s not like you raised your seaman, but he raised you. [00:07:13] One reason I wanted to talk about this is I found something very sweet when I was reading around. One of the developers wrote in an Easter egg that she never, ever thought would be used. But one day one of the players of the game began talking about suicide to his fish. It was then that the human faced fish turned around looked him in the eye and responded. I can’t find out exactly what he said, but whatever it was the man went online later and said that the little seaman saved his life. I thought that was kind of sweet. I’ve never played the game but after reading about it I am intrigued. The English language version is even narrated by Leonard Nimoy, which is another plus. [00:07:50] Now, there isn’t only a human faced fish, a jinmengyo, but there’s also something not quite as popular but worth mentioning, called a nekomengyo, or cat-faced fish. This little story sprouted up also back in 1990 when everyone was out of their minds about the jinmengyo. It’s set in Gifu prefecture at a place called Ibuki Falls and the story goes like this. Once upon a time, there was a very large cat that lived on Gongen Mountain. It was very big and scary and all the other animals were frightened of it. The cats favorite food was the koi that lived in the pond at the bottom of Ibuki Falls. The cat though was very big and very slow and couldn’t always catch the fish. He would have to wait until he was very hungry before he got desperate enough to snag one or two of the koi. One day the cat pleaded with the water god. “Water god, I wish I could eat enough of these koi to become very, very full. Please grant me this wish.” The water god was surprised at the request. The god thought and then answered. “OK, but if you wish to eat all the fish until your heart’s content, then you must be able to swim. Here, I will leave your face the way it is but I will give you a carp body.” The cat was pleased with this deal and immediately jumped into the water. Poof. And splash. But something funny happened. Once the cat was in the water with its cat face and fish body, it realized it no longer had an appetite for fish. Soon it became friends with all the carp and to this day lives there peacefully in the little beautiful lake. That’s the sweet version but there is another urban myth that’s been going around that says at night, the cat-fish grows long legs and you can see it walking around the banks of the lake. I think that’s the one I’d rather see. [00:09:44] OK, so today I will end with a little bit of me trivia. The title story to my last collection, The Carp-Faced Boy, was me riffing on the idea of the jinmengyo. My thinking being, if you can have a human-faced carp, why not a carp faced human? Better yet a small child, whose creepy and grows and may or may not have it out for certain people, like his grandpa. Anyway, I love my little carp-faced boy invented character. It was because of him in that story that I was offered a deal for the entire collection, and from there I was told a freaky story about someone who every time she went out with her elderly father-in-law, would encounter a small child crying eerily nearby. Every time, almost as if on cue. So often in fact that they were beginning to get a little freaked out. It always sounded like the same child, too. After she read my story she was convinced it was a carp-faced boy. So I like to believe that he escaped the confines of the book and is now out there pestering people all around the world. If you ever see him, take a photo because I know a good magazine we can send it to and get a lot of attention. [00:10:49] Thank you all for listening. That’s all for today. I wish everyone well. All my love to my patrons. And I’ll talk to you soon. Bye bye. [00:11:04] Pssst! Hey, do you like scary stories? Or maybe you don’t do full-on horror, but enjoy a nice dark tale. Something creepy involving Japanese folklore and superstition. Well, if that’s the case, you can sneak on over to Amazon or wherever you like to buy books and look for my two short story collections: A Robe of Feathers and The Carp-Faced Boy. All you need to do is search for Theresa Matsuura. Let me spell that for you. T-H-E-R-S-A, M-A-T-S-U-U-R-A. Another place you can find me doing things is on Patreon. There, once a month for my five dollar and up patrons, I translate, retell and record obscure Japanese folktales. Some are dark, some are humorous, some are just weird. And lastly, another super sweet thing you can do is to write a review on iTunes. By doing this you help like minded people find Uncanny Japan. It’s a little thing but it means a lot and it’s a great big help. Thank you, I’m Thersa Matsuura, and I’ll talk to you soon. (Transcribed using Happy Scribe)

You know that art that you love to make, that personal art that you know won’t sell in galleries? Don’t be discouraged, you aren’t alone! My guest Julyan Davis has a personal collection of art that he makes for himself. This is his way of separating his personal art from what he knows will sell on the marketplace. In our conversation we talk about creating art that no one will ever see, making deep personal connections, professional habits, personal promotion and much more. Julyan also tells the fascinating story of how he made his way from growing up in England to establishing himself as an artist in the American South that you won’t want to miss! Art that no one will ever see Would you still make art if no one could ever see it? That’s a difficult and fascinating question. Julyan Davis and I discuss our own answers to this question. It raises an important point, especially with the way that Julyan separates his art. Because of his style and the way that he likes to experiment, Julyan has created two different categories for his art, the personal art, and the public art. He describes two reasons for this separation. One reason is financial because he knows that a lot of his personal art won’t fit with what many collectors are looking for. The second reason for the separation is that the artwork is personal, he makes it for himself. Making deep connections In our hyperconnected world, one thing that can get easily left behind is deep and meaningful connections with those around us. The internet with all its wonderful social media brilliance can give us a false sense of personal connection. As artists, we can tend to suffer from this a bit more acutely than others because of our private and at times isolating creative process. Artist Julyan Davis discusses this tendency with me and how he’s taken steps to ensure that he connects relationally with people around him. If you’ve struggled with your sometimes isolating life as an artist, I know this conversation with Julyan will be helpful. 1 key to success and growth as an artist; Habit There is no one right way or formula for success that will work for every artist. You have to find what works for you. Often one of the best ways to find your own path is to hear how others have found theirs. Julyan Davis goes through his typical day in the studio and explains that regularly practiced habits have contributed to his own growth and success. He has also created self-imposed deadlines that help him stay focused and on schedule. The last piece of insight that Julyan shares is how he pushes himself to learn about subjects that challenge him. Hearing how Julyan has grown as an artist over the years inspired me and I hope it has that same effect on you too! Promote Your Art With so many “Done for you” solutions out there in the marketplace for small business owners, one key aspect can get left behind, self-promotion. As an artist, you’ve got to promote yourself and your artwork. You can’t rely on “Being discovered.” You have to get out there and be your best advocate. This doesn’t mean you have to be egotistical and self-centered about it. If you’ve created something from your heart, a part of your story you want to share with the world then go for it! Artist Julyan Davis is a huge fan of this direct approach and he encourages as many artists as he can to adopt it. Outline of This Episode [0:45] My introduction today’s guest, Julyan Davis.
