In this episode, I read a classic Japanese folktale about Ikkyu, a clever young monk known for his wit (とんち tonchi).The story plays with the Japanese word “hashi,” which can mean “bridge” or “edge.”Ikkyu uses this double meaning to outsmart the adults around him in a funny and surprising way.This is a short, beginner-friendly listening practice with simple Japanese. Relax, listen, and enjoy the wisdom and humor of traditional Japanese stories. YouTube ➡️ https://youtu.be/l-iQ5fG7jVU
