日本文学を逍遥致しませんか。

iTunesポッドキャストでは毎月、第一日曜日(小説、エッセイ等)、第三日曜日(古典)を配信予定中です。第四日曜日(2024年は英語での作家紹介です。(一部有料サブスクリプションのみ)


私の声は決して美声とは言えませんが、子供の頃に母が就寝前に本を読み、作り出してくれた穏やかな夜の雰囲気を思い出しながら、心地よい朗読であるよう努めています。古典と現代の日本文学の真髄に触れるお手伝いができることを心より願っています。


Introducing 南風舎 (Nanpusya)

On the iTunes podcast, we are scheduled to release episodes every month on the first Sunday (novels, essays, etc.) and the third Sunday (classics). On the fourth Sunday (in 2024, it's an introduction to English-language authors). (Some episodes are available only with a paid subscription.) 

Scheduled episodes: Every month, the first Sunday (novels, essays, etc.), the third Sunday (classics), and the fourth Sunday (Bonus contents ). 

My voice may not be a beautiful one, but I strive to provide a soothing reading experience, reminiscent of the calm atmosphere my mother created when she used to read books to me before bedtime during my childhood. As the sole creator and narrator of this podcast, I sincerely hope to contribute to an understanding of the essence of both classical and contemporary Japanese literature.
