A large rock in the midst of lush nature. At first glance, it does not appear to be a special place, but it is visited by people, little by little. The setting for this story is “Yomotsuhirasaka” in the mountains of Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture. It is said to be the boundary between this world and the next, and is mentioned in the Kojiki, the oldest extant chronicle of Japan. A person says he has come to see his best friend who has passed away. A visitor from far away who is interested in the world of myths. Others write letters to their late fathers. What do people come to this mysterious place for?
