Select Source

This episode introduces words related to ashi, which means both foot and leg. They have many important pressure points and play a significant role in blood flow. They've even been called the "second heart." We follow poet, literary translator and long-time Japan resident Peter MacMillan as he takes a walk around his home in Kyoto Prefecture. He guides us through unique words and expressions along the way.
