"Listen to my heart? I still don't quite understand."
Kamiyagawa measured the God Artisan up and down and shook her head.
"It's about listening to what's on your mind," explained the God Artisan, twirling the handle of the awl hammer she held in her hand. "Oh, don't be fooled by my appearance, I'm Kaku. By listening to your thoughts, we can be honest with each other and skip the stage of mutual suspicion and probing. After all, the voice of the heart doesn't lie. What do you think?"
This leather-skinned craftswoman, who called herself "Kaku," was revealing her bizarre racial identity.
Jobs like "Candle-making Monk" and "God Artisan" could be considered professional identities, and supernatural beings with these professions and special skills also had a racial identity of their own.
Like the Candle-making Monk in Takamagahara, who was a young blue-robed monk.
And Kaku was another type of supernatural being.
A youkai from the folklore of Japan.
