Kurama by Piriya Pete Wongkongkathep Via Flickr: I caught my first snow in Kyoto at Kurama-dera. On Saturday afternoon the snow forecast was coming from the North. The mountain area North of Kyoto got the hit first, while Kyoto was not there yet. I decided to hop Eizan railway to Kurama station to capture an evening shot at Kurama temple where they lit up red lanterns. I really like how red color inside Japanese temples contrast with white snow. Kurama-dera, Kyoto

Hi! Is it okay if I ask you for a detailed description of Kurama and Yoshitsune's Past. For someone who doesn't play the game, yet patiently waiting and praying for an english releasing of ikegen.

I don't have that many details to offer you, sadly. Many sets of boyos have very involved 'Past Stories' that go into the events that took place before the game or when they first met, but a good portion of them are behind paywalls I haven't shelled out for.

Their past isn't talked about much in Kurama's route at all, and in Yoshitsune's its really just said that Yoshitsune's always had a very ayakashi-like soul that attracted ayakashi looking to prey on him. As a child he was sent to Kurama-dera, a temple at the base of Mount Kurama, and there he caught Kurama's eye. Kurama claims to have taken an interest in protecting and training the young Yoshitsune because he wanted to devour his soul when he was grown and polished by battle into something truly special. Yoshitsune is half the warrior he is today because of Kurama's skill and guidance. However, as you may have noticed, it's been many many years since then and Kurama's still never claimed his soul ;) In fact, he saved Yoshitsune's life at the beginning of the prologue with the pact they formed, and the pact is also very much a symbol of how much he values Yoshitsune because forming one halves an ayakashi's power - sharing it with another being. Which you can imagine, hobbling himself like that is incredibly out of character for our 'Might Makes Right' tengu.

If I had to label their relationship it's very father/son like, although Kurama would murder anyone who dares frame it like that. Tidbits we get are shown in other people's routes too, like how Yoshitsune used to often sleep wrapped in Kurama's wings, or how to this day he prefers to nap in Kurama's room because he feels most comfortable there.

I don't get my consciousness these days, I've been through so much worse and yet I wasn't at all perplexed.

So I'm looking at things differently to a degree, though informed by experience.

I'm just going to stay the course.

I'll reap up these lessons for sure. It seems like money is my only problem but it's not, it's schizophrenia.

And I think not cowboying up is one of my problems. Of course, also cowboying up was one of my problems. Thusly the svastika.

I think not listening for good reason. We got this from the great experiment. We all had something right and something wrong.

We've combined it, and now we see the facts that ueshibas was aping myo-ken.

Well, with that deus ex machina. We can decipher between good and bad and unlock the agency problem introduced by that wicked wave.

That's all we needed to do. Unlock. Now I think we can make forward progress meaning natural systemic rebalance. Yep via the process.

That's the end of that dilemma.

Right, just evict the cretin and repair.

Oh totally, that's rage-bound - that wasn't a mistake.

Well I think we're on the edge of the computation - there's no passing that event horizon. There's no way to transcend that - so it should be obvious the solution is within the future beyond the horizon.

And this massive retrain. Ya I have a method, likely my affinity for stealth?

Bonus question: Why?

...

...

Relevance.

I think that's what they're scared of.

Come to imbue stealth and I've done it. I've got infinite time available on the simulator.

Stealth is a relationship, it's a means to an end and it's a part of revelation. What to conceal and what to reveal. All stealth is weakness. So stealth is also a part of audacity.

Well it would be. It shouldn't matter - it is all some weird subtextual game. There's nothing new.

Orochi. The monster brings the treasures.

Right yup. The shugendo had it - I don't know it, but I secretly think that kurama-dera was a political force and that's why they banned it.

Well it had to go. It's all progress. But then a whole new set of novel problems.

Kurama-dera

It was a mysterious place

Tengu, the spirit of the mountain, is also said to live in Kurama

We started our first day in Japan by hiking up to Kurama-dera. I initially looked into it because the YYH characters Kurama and Hiei are named after this mountain and another one nearby. I may have gone with impure motives but it truly ended up as one of my favorite parts of my trip!

Tengu are said to live on Mt. Kurama, so that's why they're in the train and on the sign. Also there's a huge tengu statue outside the train station!

I said hike, but it's more of an uphill trudge on a paved path... and THEN you reach this gate of the shrine!

What else?

Uh I think the rest is pretty messy and too inconclusive.

Eventually wikipedia caught up and it's right there that sojobo was the mythical onichii hogen. I think he did exist. Running in those circles it sounded like sokaku takeda got daito-ryu from the scrolls that were stolen from hogen at kurama-dera. But that might have just been a joke. Still we see that those, well shugendo monks, absolutely collected war scrolls at least the rikuto which they got from china presumably which mutated out of the han war school informed by taoism. That traces back through tibet, India and up to North Africa...ish.

Only in the kashima-ryu line do we see any legitimate diety entering and providing curriculum but that could be anything. Still, could hogen have learned kashima-ryu and passed it on forming the 7 sword schools of Kyoto? I don't know, but people suggest it.

But, right there at face value it basically goes without saying that everything comes from the spirit world. So, maybe the reason it's unmeasured is because how could you build an instrument that measured everything? Recursion has a limit.

So that leaves us with some kind of ninpo cyber shamanism.

I think that leaves us with the concept of destination, that if you keep going you wind up back where you started, 'my god, it's round'.

Not really that mystical.

The tower of Babel story has weight than. It's going to topple.

Ok next up..

Tracyrasshaimase! – Japan 2017, day 3, part 2

The second half of the day, I spent on another part of the mountain.

I had gone back to Kibuneguchi station to wait for the bus that would go up to Kurama, another small town on the mountain. The first thing I did was to actually go to the onsen which I already wrote about here, since taking photos was not allowed. But long story short, it was a great experience, and I would do it again.

But anyway, after the whole onsen thing, I went to Kurama-dera. I was actually deciding if I wanted to go through with this temple and instead just head back down to the city. But it’s not every day that I get to go up this mountain, so I may as well while I was there.

There was a lot of walking involved, and I even took the cable car up...

...which was followed by more walking up stairs. I was pretty insane, it felt like the stairs would n e v e r  e n d.

I actually took a short break to have a drink to recharge, and I guess to admire the autumn foliage some more. It never gets old.

Eventually made it to the top, and just took in the views. Did a bit more of muni-muni up here. Because how often do you walk up a mountain?

More of the amazing walking culture of Japan—on my way down, there was a walking tour group on their way up, and part of the group was this old couple. It was obvious the man wasn’t in top shape and was walking very slowly and had to hold on to the handrails very tightly as he made his way up the stairs. His wife was walking behind him, holding him from behind and gently pushing him up with every step. It really amazes me how even in old age, these people still make the effort to keep walking no matter how difficult it may seem. And they were dressed so nicely, too!

Found this dude hidden away near the bus stop. I had remembered that the Kurama-tengu was up here somewhere, and...I found him. Hahaha hello.

I was waiting for the bus near Kurama-dera, and I still can’t believe that it was just 4:30 PM and yet the sun was on its way down already. I kind of wish I had more daylight up on the mountain, but it was still breathtaking nonetheless to have those few hours up in Mt. Kurama.
