Today is known throughout the war-torn land of Nihon as the day to appreciate the yamabushi, who toil ceaselessly to ensure the harmony of the land, and who try to keep mountain passes and roads clear of monsters.
Once, I was a yamabushi myself. While the way of Shugendo was not the proper Way for me, I learned many useful skills. Many of my friends — Arihiro, Araiguma, Seito, Meiun-no-Neko, and more — are members of the yamabushi themselves. I sometimes hear of their exploits and labors, and I am glad to know that the land is in good hands.
Today is a day to salute the yamabushi, everywhere. May their paths be broad and easy, and may the horagai horns summon them only at midday, never in the dark of night!
