  🌋 A village of one hundred and seventy people lives inside the crater of an active volcano. 
  ⛩️ The summit of the country's most sacred mountain is privately owned. 
  ⚔️ For centuries, the samurai — Japan's most feared warriors — were paid not in gold, but in rice. 
  Most people think they know Japan. They know the bullet trains, the cherry blossoms, the sushi. But the country keeps its most interesting stories somewhere else entirely — in the details that never make it onto a postcard. 
  This audiobook collects 151 of those stories. Each one is short, self-contained, and built to be listened to anywhere — on a commute, on a walk, in the ten minutes before you fall asleep. Pick up from the beginning or drop in anywhere. Every entry stands on its own. 
  🏮 An ancient belief holds that household tools come to life after one hundred years of service — and must be treated accordingly. 
  🥋 In the sixteenth century, an African man arrived in Japan and rose to become a samurai. His name was Yasuke. His story was almost lost to history. 
  🍗 Every Christmas Eve, millions of Japanese families sit down to a bucket of fried chicken. The reason involves a marketing campaign, a Colonel, and a stroke of accidental genius. 
  These are the facts that make up a nation's soul. 
  Welcome to The Soul of Japan: 
  151 Surprising Facts About Japanese Culture, History, Traditions, and Everyday Life — Stories That Reveal the Real Japan.

  This story is based on true events of a serious and noble attempt made by the author to save the life of a cherished white and ginger cat who was injured. 
  The author found a cat lying in his garden one day, wounded and meowing quietly. Together with his friend, they took the cat to a veterinarian. 
  The veterinarian told them that the cat had probably been hit by a car and crawled to the garden. 
  Eliran started then to write about the story of Jupiter the hero, the curious cat, who was fascinated by the stars in the heavens and wanted to be “The Star of the Neighborhood”. 
  The story presents a picture of the complexity of the life of street cats, showing the anticipated urban dangers and their dependence on the mercy of the people who volunteer to feed them and care for them. 
  This story resonates well beyond cats and people. It talks about the values of carrying for the other and being empathic.

  Sherpa legend told of an enchanted valley with an invisible village, Shangri-La, that was said to be a place of great beauty. 
  The valley became the nemesis of legendary mountaineer Edmund Hillary, who travelled there to climb 7,129m Baruntse, but succumbed to the irresistible draw of Makalu, the great black mountain which towered over the valley. Makalu vanquished him, and he was never the same climber again. 
  Fifty years later, Mark Horrell embarked on a trek up the Barun Valley to follow in Hillary’s footsteps – at least some of the way. He hoped to climb Baruntse, but when he arrived, he learned of a terrible accident that had shaken the climbing community and would threaten his plans. 
  Yet one of the virtues of climbing in the Himalayas is that just reaching a mountain can be a great adventure. Join Mark on an entertaining journey across jungle, moorland, hill and valley to the frozen heights of the Barun Plateau.
