Shugen Temple

Shugen Temple Kanji 首現堂 (しゅげんどう) Game Located at Rougetsu Island Function Shrine and mask-making workshop Status Abandoned

The Hall of the Conscious Mind is an area on Rougetsu Island connected to the Lunar Eclipse Hall. It was significant to the religion of the islanders, and connected to the craft of mask-making.

The first room in the Hall is a shrine decorated with masks, where severed facial skin could be purified. Beyond that is the Mask-Making Room, a workshop for the expert craftsmen of the Yomotsuki Family. Through this workshop, one could also access a network of underground passages known as the Meditation Cave, which emerged at Tsukuyomi Beach.
