Remember Saint Hakushin from InuYasha?
Oct. 17th, 2012 04:05 pmHe was the guy who was keeping the barrier up around Mt. Hakurei to hide Naraku's presence from everyone? And it turned out he was a monk who tortured himself to death to achieve the status of a living god? I thought that wasn't really real, or at least I didn't think people kept the mummified remains of the guy in a shrine. Turns out that was real and those mummies are all over Japan.




Here's Hakushin when we first see him in his preserved state

Here he is going into what will be his tomb

And him inside, ringing his bell, waiting for death.
Just thought I'd share since that's really creepy and kinda appropriate for the Halloween season.
