Story & World

STORY & WORLD

Long, long ago.

Long, long ago…

so very long ago…

all kinds of animals lived in this world

free and as they pleased.

This is Fox Village, where the foxes live.

The foxes could transform.

One day, the precious drum passed down in the village

was carried off by the Red Oni.

— Let's go get the drum back.

World

WORLD

Forests, villages, bamboo, torii, and the lives of the Oni and the Kappa.

Where Rin and the foxes live, and where the journey begins. Past the stone lanterns and the red torii stands the shrine; on festival days, everyone gathers at the Kagura Hall.

A stall lined with charms, and the Kagura Hall for festivals. Since the drum was taken, the village festival has stood still.

Territory of the Oni who took the drum. Rocks and high ledges block the way, and deep in the forest, Oko and Nico lie in wait.

The drum was carried off to the Oni Village. Disguised as a Red Oni, Rin slips into their log-fenced village.

A storehouse deep in the Oni Village, with barrels stacked to the rafters. Help the Oni who work there as you make your way toward the vault at the back.

The Road Ahead先の旅

The journey goes on past the Oni Village: the bamboo grove of the kappa, the torii road, an island of cherry blossom, and a town of humans.

The Kappa's village, deep in the bamboo grove. A water wheel turns, and tents line the riverbank. As Hina, a child of Fox Village, tells it: "There are kappa in the bamboo grove. Nobody has ever seen one, but they are there."

A road where red torii and stone torii go on and on beneath the autumn maples. Leaves drift down and pinwheels spin.

A single cherry tree on a small island in the water. Across the red bridge stands a row of stone torii.

A human town of tiled roofs and shopfronts. Carts and townsfolk pass beneath the noren curtains.
