Japanese Classical Literature at Bedtime

Japanese Classical Literature at Bedtime is a wonderful place. It's a non-commercial podcast of selected works of pre-modern Japanese literature. The author thoughtfully includes links to e-versions of most of the texts.

Of most interest to Weblog Yahantei visitors is the reading of Bashô's Oku no hosomichi (Narrow road to the interior). However, there are also excerpts from Genji monogatari (Tale of Genji), Tosa nikki (Tosa diary), Hôjôki (Account of my hut) and others.

Give it a try!
