Des sacrifices humains au Japon ?

BENJAMIN BRILLAUD
About this episode

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour !

Le Japon… aaahhh, le Japon ! La beauté de ses cerisiers, la majesté du mont Fuji, la délicatesse de sa gastronomie, les Haïkus, les jardins zen, les sacrifices humains… Oui oui, les sacrifices humains. On va parler aujourd'hui d'une histoire bien glauque, celle d'une technique de sacrifices humains rituels de la religion Shinto au Japon : le Hitobashira.

Bonne écoute !
