I may not know its exact meaning, but the fact that the butterfly crest is on a shrine indicates that it is very special indeed. I notice that the word always appears in writings about the ritual. "Butterfly" means something else to the villagers too. They are frequently mentioned in the ritual literature. It's the same as the one on the building beyond the large bridge.īutterflies seem to have a special meaning, just like twins. The entrance has a large butterfly crest painted on it. It seems very old, but it is well-made and has not fallen into disrepair. I found a small shrine at the top of a long set of stairs, shrouded in mist. I have to find a way to get out of here fast. Unfortunately I was unable to find any detailed information about the twin ritual. I'm beginning to think that I was wrong to leave Miyako behind alone.
Maybe it doesn't mean anything, but something here doesn't feel right. Sometimes they are sculpted without a head from the start. The ritual occurs every few decades, and judging by the number of Twin Deities statues, this tradition is very old.įor some reason, one of the twins always has its head broken off. Each time the ritual is completed, a new Twin Deities Statue is placed somewhere in the village. Twin sisters or brothers perform a special ritual here. In this region, twins serve an unusual purpose. I have also found a description of a "Twin Deities Statue" in the writings lying around the house. For some reason, one of the statues is in the form of twins.
