Shou Un Dai: (Flying Cloud Stone)


It is said that Mao landed on this stone 6,500,000 years ago from Venus to save the earth. When I placed my hand near the stone, I felt the dense energy past the rope. The rope is called Shimenawa.



Shimenawa is a rope that separate the sacred space for worshiping deities and other holy things from regular space. You see them often in temples. The 8000 year old sacred tree that I talked about earlier has the Shimenawa around it as well.

I pictured imaginary Mao on the stone and flying around. In my head he is made out of gold with golden stick navigating his flying stone around and patrolling the town to make sure everything is in order. I feel like he is a Science Fiction Super Hero.
