The Kanayama shrine was one of the most ancient shrine in Japan, and as such they take much more after the shamanistic practice of the Ainu people than either Taoism or Buddhism, as evident by their worship of Kanamara, the steel phallus that is said to bless both the people and the land with fertility. After participating in a fertility ritual in the shrine, the bamboo cutter's wife soon gave birth to a daughter. The couple named the girl Kaguya in reference to the folktale, and decided to dedicate the girl to the shrine on her first birthday. Kaguya was trained as a shrine maiden for the Kanayama shrine as she grew up the most important part of her training was the prayers that had been passed down since the time of the shamans, followed by rituals and performances to please the kami. However, due to the peculiar nature of the Kanayama shrine, she also possesses some skills that would not be expected from a shrine maiden, as well as a very different set of doctrines. The Kanamara is a fertility deity, and his mikos are expected to provide pleasure and even offspring to people if requested, so Kaguya is trained in the art of pleasuring others the shrine was also responsible for blessing hunters in the olden days of shamans, so Kaguya was trained in the basics of zen archery. Now that Kaguya is of age, her deity gave her an important mission to repopulate the town. Fact of matter is, the Kanayama shrine is located in a little time with little chance for wealth or glory, and most men either left it to find work in the city or joined the army, leaving only the children and the elderly. So Kaguya is charged with the mission to go out into the world, converting people to Shinto and particularly the Kanayama shrine, and then bring these new believers to the town to rejuvenate the populace. It's no small task, considering how the Kanamara is barely tolerated by the Shinto priesthood at large, but with her god by her side, Kaguya is confident that she could accomplish it and return the village to prosperity.
