Quick disclaimer, we're in Samurai Legends, so it's more violent than usual, including

some mention but not depiction of self-harm.

Please check out the post on mythpodcast.com, linked in the show notes, for more info.

This week, on Myths and Legends, we're telling the story of the lost sword and the Samurai

will do anything to find it.

We'll learn that robbing people is bad, and when you should give up on that old job and

move on.

Spoiler, it's before you spend a year being Samurai Batman, dispensing vigilante justice.

The creature this week is the turn-up counter, a mythological monster who counts turn-ups.

This is Myths and Legends, episode 3-11, lost and found.

This is a podcast where we tell stories from mythology and folklore.

Some are incredibly popular stories you might think you know, but with surprising origins.

Others are stories that might be new to you, but are definitely worth listening.

Today, we're telling the story of the lost sword.

A Japanese drama from the very late 17th century, early 18th century, about a Ronan, looking

for a lost sword, so he, his wife, and their daughter can have their life back.

We'll jump in with the Ronan watching from the shadows.

Trying to keep his former master safe.

Drobe saw the two men, waiting in the rain.

Everyone else was running, trying to avoid the rainstorm that had appeared in the middle

of the day.

Not these two, though.
