Yabubako-Hoshi's ShrineLink to this section
DescriptionGallery

A small shrine set inside the hollow at the base of a yew tree. It is composed of a small round mirror on a platform. It is said that the yew tree is 800 years old and that the cavity beneath the tree is 500 years old. The shrine is connected to Yabubako-Hoshi, as anyone who is reflected in the mirror finds themselves replaced by Yabubako-Hoshi for three months, Yabukako-Hoshi causing mischief and trouble in the meantime. The cavity has been sealed because it regularly caused trouble in the past but curious visitors occasionally open the cavity and look at the mirror. There is a way to undo everything Yabubako-Hoshi commits and that is to turn the mirror 360° to the left without getting reflected. Stands count as one's true self and can be reflected in the mirror.

NoireLink to this section
A painting made by art forger Maurice Legrand. Legrand had seen the cursed painting Under the Moon which drove him mad through the art forger's guilt of participating in an art forgery operation. Legrand tried to replicate the painting somehow but in a haphazardous manner. Legrand applied thick layers of black paint to create Noire, replicating with the impasto the image of a spider web and of long flowing hair. Legrand also wrote "Ceci est le noir vu au Louvre. remord" which means "This is the black seen at the Louvre. remorse", at the back of the canvas.

Following Legrand's death, the painting was acquired by the auctioneer company Crimson's and sold off to Rohan Kishibe for 1,500,000 yen.
