Not all Japanese #ghost and #yokai stories are scary. Some of them are about flirty, teenage, flute-playing ghosts.

(Still not as weird as the TNG episode when Dr. Crusher has sex with a ghost though.)

Stopped at Wonder Goo Shimotsuke. Got Shin Megami Tensei String Quartet soundtrack for a whopping ¥50!!
It had no price tag but it was in the junk corner.

“Kirifuri Waterfall at Kurokami Mountain in Shimotsuke” (c. 1832), by Katsushika Hokusai

It's basically just Tochigi prefecture in Japan

The historic stuff is in a made up province called Izumori, which I shoved in the middle of Shimotsuke, Kotsuke, and Musashi. That area is where Tochigi prefecture is today, and my OCs are from different areas around there.
Where does your OC live?

Nikko Futarasan Jinja

Ichinomiya of Shimotsuke Province

Well there’s another shrine claiming Ichinomiya status in Utsunomiya which uses the same kanji but just read as Futarayama Jinja.

Did you know that Hokusai's Kirifuri Waterfall at Kurokami Mountain in Shimotsuke directly inspired one of the full art Neon Dynasty Islands?

I would love to visit Japan. Waterfalls, Sushi, and hot mineral baths, would be the whole theme of my trip. Kirifuri Falls at Mount Kurokami in Shimotsuke Province-c.1833
