  • Halfway up Mt. Tomi, the setting of Nanso Satomi Hakkenden, is a small cave called Fusehime Roketsu. Pass through the entrance gate and climb the steps, and you will find a large rock called “Inuzuka,” dedicated to Yatsufusa, one of the characters in this book. This break in your ascent will give you a feel for this epic novel.
