岐 - Branch Off
On a misty Mountain, travelers pause at a shrine to Chimata-no-kami, the old crossroad god.
From the shrine grows a wooden Support beam, splitting the trail like a twig snapping underfoot.
The god laughs and points-one path toward Yamata-no-Orochi’s “eight-forked” river, another back to the bustling chimata (word-on-the-street).
That’s how you remember Branch Off: a sacred Mountain, a sturdy Support, and the choice of paths that echo through myth and chatter alike.
