Status Sealed inside a dream

The Abyss is a deep underground pit beneath the Kuze Shrine. It is accessed from the first section of the Last Passage, through the double doors at the back of the Engraving Shrine. The Tattooed Priestess was lowered in a cage to the bottom of this area on the way to the Chamber of Thorns. The mechanism used to raise and lower the cage is located at the top. As the cage descended, it would pass through many torii gates fixed horizontally to the wall. The Handmaidens and the Kuze Family Head would use the long spiral staircase to reach the bottom of the Abyss. Some of the wooden posts driven into the wall for use as stairs have Sanskrit script painted on them, like the Tattooed Stakes.

The Abyss represents the entrance to the underworld.[1] Piles of stones at the foot of the staircase are reminiscent of Buddhist folklore in which children who die before their parents pile up stones by the shore of the Sanzu River as atonement, hoping to earn passage to the afterlife. The double doors at the bottom lead through to the second part of the Last Passage.

Notable Events

  • The bloody spot at the bottom of the Abyss is where Amane Kuze was impaled by the other Handmaidens, after sneaking Kaname in to see Reika.
  • Reika Kuze was lowered to the bottom of the Abyss in the cage.
