Sukunahikona's temple
Aug. 12th, 2018 10:50 amOn the top side of a little mountain in the western district, a little bit into the forest there's a pathway leading to a humble shrine. It doesn't look new, but it's cosy on the inside. It's propped up off the ground so it's almost hanging in the air if not for the poles under it. Most of it is one big room with windows along sides and front. Further in, there's a door leading into the living quarters of the shrine. There are a few small bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, a cosy living room. Most of it looks like a throwback to the way Japanese homes looked in the early 1900's, with the addition of some modern appliances, though no computers. But there's a record player and the kitchen is the room that seems the most up to date. There's electricity and plumbing, but there just doesn't seem to be that much stuff in there yet.
Down the hill that the shrine is propped up on there's a little pond surrounded by green moss and trees, making sounds muffled and the place calming. When it's warm enough or you're daring enough, you can go swimming there, though the water is a meter and a half at its deepest.
Out the front door is a little garden, and to the left of the shrine is a little building with screen doors, but no windows, unlike the shrine itself. It's for privacy, that's much needed in what's essentially a nurse's office. Or, some sort of version of it. It has all the basic things needed to care for someone in need of some small help.
