/Tsujidou no Gorintou
On December 20, 1983 Tsuujidou no Gorintou
was given the title of cultural asset of
the town. It was found in Taguchi just outside
of Morimasatsuku's house. It was found and
excavated when they were trying to build
a watermill. The history of these monuments
are unknown.
Within the Gorintou, Karin, Suirin, and Jirin survived. The height
of this monument is about a meter. Till this day, something that
looks like bone powder can be seen in the Surin.
Because the monument is not complete, no
one knows who this monument is for. What
is known is that it was made before the Muromachi
era (1392-1573) and lies within the graveyard
of a secret religon.
Gorintou is the product of a secret religon.
