Characters: Gods and Spirits |
These are the customers of Aburaya, the bathhouse.
Kasuga-Sama | |
Gods who came to ABURAYA in a group by boat. They
wear strange masks and Sokutai (Japanese traditional
clothes for nobles), but their bodies are like shadows. (*Kasuga is the name of a famous Shinto Shrine in Japan. There is a traditional ritual dance called "Ama" at Kasuga Shrine, in which dancers wear paper masks called "Zoumen." The mask looks like the one Kasuga-Sama is wearing. ) |
