Course of Lady Sun (TCG)

The Course of Lady Sun was a river that run by Centipede lands to the sea, and it held particular spiritual and cultural meaning to the Centipede. This river also served as an important access route to Lion, Phoenix, Dragon, and Unicorn lands, Celestial Realms, p. 71 connecting with the ocean through the Port of Sun's Reflection. Celestial Realms, p. 76
== Name ==
The river was so named because, according to Rokugani belief, when Lady Sun and Lord Moon created Ningen-dō, they traversed the world, sculpting the landscape and creating the trees and animals. This river was worn into the ground by Amaterasu's footfalls. As such, the Centipede believed that the river marked her favorite path to travel through the world, ending where Mukade no Tani overlooked the sea. 
== Festival ==
At the beginning of spring, the Centipede hold a festival called Amaterasu's Journey. During a special ceremony, they carefully moved a statue of Amaterasu from the Castle of the Centipede down the river and ferried it to the sea on an elaborate boat decorated blossoming cherry branches. They then made the return trip, symbolically welcoming the goddess back to Mukade no Tani for another year by throwing cherry blossoms into the water.
