Quotes2

  • Kariya: I'm amazed how religious people are on this island. What gods do you believe in?
  • Ritsugen Ryu: Gods reside in heaven, earth and nature, in each tree and in each blade of grass. Gods are also present in the sea, in fields and in houses. If you eliminate the gods from this island, there would be nothing left. Cigarettes?
  • Ritsugen Ryu: Traditionally, the Otaki well has been the last resort to turn to. In fact, this drought has gone on for three months, but nobody has used the well. It's because those who violate it will be punished by the gods. Our rules forbid us to let the outsiders know about it.
  • Kariya: But without water, the company will close the plant. That's bad for all the islanders, right?
  • Ritsugen Ryu: Yes. But we can't ignore the beliefs and traditions of the island.
  • Kariya: The company would prefer an easily accessible water supply. Even if it's the gods' water.
