Now Viewing: giant_toad's_pondTag type: General 大蝦蟇の池 Oogama no Ike or Daigama no Ike A small pond halfway up Youkai_Mountain in Gensoukyou. Mentioned in Bohemian_Archive_in_Japanese_Red ("Ice Fairy Eaten by Giant Toad") and in Perfect_Memento_in_Strict_Sense. The giant_toad/Oogama lives there, probably acting as a guardian of the pond. The water there is said to hold divine powers, and is becoming an indispensable ingredient for Shinto rituals. The lotus flowers in the pond are beautiful, and lotus leaves and flowers floating on the surface lit by sunbeams filtered through the surrounding foliage further emphasize the mysteriousness of the pond. A tiny shrine is built near the pond. Who built it, when it was built and for what purpose are all already forgotten, but there are certainly humans that leave offerings at the shrine.
