Hinin Village (Toshi no Naishou)

The Hinin Village was the eta community of Toshi no Naishou, in the east bank of the Itochu River, while the city sat on the other side. The place was muddy and unstable, prone to flooding. The village was considered cursed, variously attributed to ghosts, a demon, or a wronged Fortune, because every few years one of the eta living there disappeared without a trace.
