Seido Jurojin, or the Shrine to Jurojin, was dedicated to Jurojin, the Fortune of longevity. It was maintained by many Asako priests and Brotherhood monks. It's distant location made pilgrimages rare, but all visitors were welcomed as an unusual diversion from daily life. A small village sprang up on the outskirts of the shrine, filled with those who wished to pray to the fortune for the secrets of eternal life. ^[1]

Crane Shrine Edit

A smaller shrine to Jurojin was located in Crane lands, near Umi Amaterasu. It stood in gardens which had been built at the command of Kakita Yasuhime, a Kakita Daimyo and artisan. They had been built as a celebration of the ninetyseventh birthday of Emperor Hantei XX, and were open to all visitors. A statue was placed at the base of a spring, and the waters were considered to be the purest and cleanest in the world. The healing properties of the waters were renowned, as they were rumored to heal all wounds of any who drank it almost instantly. ^[2]
