神様の町 -deserted town-
when i first saw this city i was both fascinated and scared, but as the story continued and all the hidden was revealed it began to seem so familiar and i didn't want to leave it at the end (´-ω-`)))。。
who knows, maybe i really lost a little fragment of my soul there and sometimes it calls for me to return?..

Wara ningyô (straw doll) kept at Tono Museum.
Those effigies were once hung on ropes (michikiri) by roadsides and village entrances to ward off evil spirits bringing pestilence (疫病神 yakubyôgami). They were sometimes accessorized, like this one bearing a daishô (katana set) and a fearsome (oni?) face mask.
Waraningyô are also a staple of folk magic alike voodoo dolls, especially those related to eerie uchi no toki mairi ("Ox-hour shrine visits", ie witching hour).
