In the area around [[Mt. Hikami]] there is a custom of receiving water from the mountain. People call it "Mikomori", and it is placed in casks to bring into their homes, used only for special ceremonies.

It is used to give a newborn its first bath, or to cleanse the bodies of the dead.

This stems from the belief that the soul comes from the water, and returns to it in death.

Another use for this water is known as the "cry of the mountain."

According to an old woman in the village, there is a saying:

"When Hikami lets out a cry, one must wash in Mikomori."

When Mt. Hikami "cries out," or rumbles, one ritually immerses oneself or otherwise wets oneself with the water.

The custom likely comes from the mountain's sound being a bad omen, and they use the [[Pure Water]] as a sort of ward.

"But when the water dries, your daughters may be gone. Do not go in search when the mountain is awake."

This must refer to girls being taken to the mountain after the ward has worn off, an explanation for the number of girls [[spirited away|going missing]] in the area.
