Heart of Nature

The scholars fo the Asako family theorize that somewhere in this forest lies a passage to the Spirit Realms which they call the Heart of Nature. This passage touches on many different realms including Chikushudo, Sakkaku, and even Yume-do. The portal does not have a specific loactions, but instead moves throughout the forest. One cannot predict to which realm the passage will open. Even those beings of the Spirit Realms who wander through the passage have no way to know how to return to their home realm unless they are being aided by other magics. The passage is guarded by the elemental spirits called Yuki no Onna.
