Eastern Island

The Eastern Islands (東の諸島 Higashi no Shotō) is a mysterious island near Saiunkoku.
==Information==
Shou Yousen often mentions the Eastern Island in his stories which are mostly fabricated. This was discussed further in the Saiunkoku Monogatari Drama CD 〜 The Call of Fireworks (Tamaya)〜 . Some of his fabrications include:
*Shou Taishi had said that the straw doll love charm that Shi Ryuuki gives Kou Shuurei after she left the Palace were a part of Eastern Island culture. Shou Taishi had said that if Ryuuki were to weave three strands of his hair into a straw doll and dance in front of it at midnight for three nights, then his love will be sent to Shuurei when she receives the doll. Ryuuki later finds out he was tricked.
*When Ryuuki asks Shou Taishi what was in the jar that he had been carrying around since Sa Enjun's death, Shou Taishi told him it contained pickled plums, a local delicacy of the Eastern Island. It turns out that they actually contained Enjun's ashes but whether or not pickled plums are actually an Eastern Island delicacy is never confirmed.
Other mentions of the Eastern Island include:
* Sou Shungai teaches Ryuuki about a sport called Sumo Wrestling that he says originated from the Eastern Island. This conversation occurs while they were at the Hot Springs.
