## What is Japan Mystery?

Why did Japanese women once paint their teeth black? What did real ninja actually wear? Why do castle floors chirp like birds?

Japan Mystery turns the strangest true stories of Japanese history, folklore, and everyday custom into short visual mysteries. Each question takes seconds to answer — and leaves you with a story worth retelling.

ONE MOONLIT NIGHT
Every mystery is illustrated in a single, hand-crafted world: an ink-dark night, one gold moon, and the silhouettes of old Japan. No noise, no clutter — just you and the question.

HOW IT WORKS
• Read the mystery — a real question from Japanese history and folklore
• Choose your answer from four possibilities
• Reveal the truth, with a short explanation you can actually remember
• Solve all ten mysteries of the night

MADE WITH CARE
• Original illustrations, music-box sound, and gentle haptics
• Respectful of the culture it explores — curiosities, never caricatures
• Plays fully offline, no account needed
• No ads

New mysteries are on the way: samurai, yokai, Edo life, hidden castle defenses, and more.
