## Resource

Say hello to spicy TK this episode because I have MAD beef with the Japanese Imperial Household Agency and their very dumb rules! But besides attempting to get myself banned from Japan in this episode, we talk about 👑 One of my favorite people in Japanese history, Queen Himiko. 🍃 The origins of Shintoism ❌ the multiple attempts at erasing her history 😡 and why we aren’t ALLOWED to look for her I hope you enjoy this episode!! I'm so glad you found my little corner of YouTube. If you're interested in world history, women’s history, and unusual history, then I hope you stick around!
