How's it going?I was talking to my friend Magatsu Izanagi then I decided to make this theory; so kudos to him for the motivation :)
This one isn't that long aside from some pictures, so no need for a TL;DR :)


So today if you didn't notice there was a type of structure on the Volcano

So here is some stuff that his could be:
Firstly this could be Kaguya's Palace.
From what it appears; it looks to be a Palace/Shrine on top of a Volcano;
Well it just so happens that this is similar to real life Japan.

Mount Fuji is a stratovolcano along with a mountain.

Furthermore it holds many Sengen Shrines that are important symbols for Japanese Mythology.
Asama Shrine is one of them; and the Shrines are in honor of different Gods such as Susano'o, Amaterasu, and others as well.
One god specifically is Konohanasakuya-hime; she is a goddess of Mount Fuji and Volcanoes and her symbol is a "Sakura" (cherry bosom).

Next part; notice the actual structure's architecture.

There seems to be tiny circles that are possibly windows; furthermore there is a protrusion at the top that looks similar to important Japanese towers:

Resemblance to Chinese Tower as well:

Folkloric Connection:
  • Lo and behold, Mount Fuji has relation to the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (story about Kaguya).
  • Eventually Kaguya decides to go back to the moon people which makes her lover the Emperor Sad.
  • Before leaving, Kaguya left the Emperor items such as an Elixir for Immortality and a Letter of Love.
  • The Emperor asks his officer about which Mountain is the closest to Heaven; and Mount Fuji is the clear choice. The Emperor then has his men burn the Elixir of Immortality in the Mountain as he does not wish for an eternal life without Kaguya;
  • And he also has the letter burned in the Mountain/Volcano in hopes of having the message reach "heaven" to where Kaguya is (the moon).
  • One of the meanings of Fuji of present day is now "immortal" (不死 fushi, fuji); alluding back to the legend.

Kishi is definitely alluding to Shintoism again; but that raises the question of if perhaps Kaguya was once good and perhaps the lost of a lover turned her? Maybe that's how the Children (Hagoromo and Hamura) were born?

Thanks for reading, Vega

Its obvious Kaguya will have a love interest. Every woman in this manga That's even somewhat relevant has a lover.

Thanks for the shoutout :cool:

Nicely done, I knew there had to be some kind of connection with Kaguya, and would you look at that, Tale of the Bamboo Cutter comes up again ;)

I hope we get more closure on the tower in the next chapter so we can confirm these connections.

1- The only new thing I learned from you is that : Mountain Fuji is probably that mountain Kaguya summoned , which is
Probably her castle . And thank for this .


2- you have a lot information about legends and myths ................ etc .


here are a list of her names in other places if you like to do some research on her .

( Chang'e , Artemis , Diana , Luna , lunar , Isis , Astarte , Hecate , Kali , Inanna ) , and maybe even Gaia and Demeter .

Yeah anything is possible at this point :)
I also wondered if perhaps that was Kaguya's Mothership lol.
