- To keep themselves from being forgotten, the gods on the near shore made a choice. One that shifted the fate of humanity forever. It started with Akani, the god of song and dance, who made herself known to humans by putting on plays and musicals for them in a small quarter of Osaka.
As her popularity grew, many of the younger, shrineless gods followed suit. Some inspired paintings, or made art themselves, and had their names put on the finished work before they were sold. While others would become spokesmen for companies they helped to create. A god of vanity eventually started advertising products, and was displayed on billboards. Humanity was forced to acknowledge the existence of gods beyond folktales and acts of faith. Gods became something normal for humanity, and knowledge of them and the regalia that accompanied them became commonplace.
Because of this, humanity became more dependent on gods, expecting them to solve their problems more and always answer when prayed to. Humanity expected gods to do whatever was asked of them, no matter how mundane or simple it was.
A few people voiced their dissent over how much more humanity was starting to rely on gods to do things they used to do themselves. Then the few became many, and a group called Dawn was born. Dawn makes no secret of the fact that they dislike gods, and their goal of bringing the world back to how it used to be before, even if they have to drive gods away or go to more extreme measures to do it.
—In this world, gods have become commercialized, and the most popular near shore deities are treated similar to celebrities.
The majority of the far shore gods have cut ties with those on the near shore, disapproving of what they're doing.
Most humans still can't see phantoms, but are aware that gods protect them from corruption.
The Japan TimesHistoric Nagano Shrine VandalizedOn Monday, it was discovered that a komainu (lion-dog) statue at the Harumiya Temple was stolen and that white columns of the structure were splattered with black paint, according to the reports.
A note with the message, "We don't need you", was also found at the scene. Speculations suggest this to be the work of the activist group known as "Dawn". An investigation is underway to find the culprits of the vandalism.Reports quoted the deputy head of the city’s Department of Cultural Affairs, Naoki Nishizawa, as saying that his department has asked the Nagano Water Department to propose a plan in a month to fix the statue.
In the earlier incident in May, a pair of stone komainu statues dating back to the Japanese colonial period were vandalized by Dawn activists.- ChatMaster [Ori.2018]File Edit View Browse Bookmarks Friends Theme Tools HelpSora2:23 AM
