Shrine to Jurojin



The Shrine to Jurojin was a large shrine to Jurojin, the Fortune of Longevity, located in a valley southwest of Shinomen Tower. A great waterfall overlooked a tall stone column ringed by a staircase carved from rock. At the column's peak was great stone claw bathed in bright, purple light. Those who gazed into the light of Jurojin were said to find the happiest memories they had, or even visions of the future. Four monks tended the shrine, blessed with long lives in contemplation.
