Japanese Literature Audiobooks by Kaseumin - 南風舎

Japanese literature, Noh, and poetic silence—narrated and curated by Kasumi Kobayashi.

It may be a kind of serendipity that you’ve found this channel.

This is a quiet space for those who read slowly,
who linger over a line of poetry,
who feel that the soul of a story often lives between the words.

Here, I read aloud from Japanese literature—
ancient diaries, plays from the Noh stage, poems that still breathe.
Not to explain, but to share the act of listening.

If you’ve ever underlined a sentence and returned to it years later,
if you believe some truths arrive best in a whisper—
you are very welcome here.
