"I've heard of festivals in Crane lands that make use of similar effigies," Nesshin notes in response to Mitsuki. "My parents spoke of them, once or twice. Haha-san had attended one, in fact--quite by accident, she says."
He shrugs. "It's not so strange a thing."

Mitsuki shrugged:
"Indeed, some fucking needs to happen at some points or the samurai would go extinct. Whether it's the domain of Benten, Musubi, or another Fortune, and if you need to insert explicit remainders of it in your offerings to them, is a complex theological question that I'm definitely not scholarly enough to answer.
And that may give a few scholars a heart attack if you ask them about it out of the blue."

"I guess some Asahina had had to certify at some points that the practices of that festival you previously talked about were not heretical. Or maybe it was some monk that did so.
Regardless, a report, terse or verbose, maybe amused, maybe distressed, maybe carefully neutral, must exist somewhere within the Crane archives."
