Introduction
The town of Higashi, in Akita Prefecture, is quiet, small and surrounded by rice-paddies, fields, forests and the foothills of a mountain range. It has its own share of local rumours and mysteries. The oddest one is about a hunter's cabin in the foothills near town. The cabin is said to be almost impossible to find, but if you can find it, rumours say, and go inside, you can write down something you want, and it will come true when you burn the paper. Or so the legend goes. Hardly anyone has ever said that they've even been able to find the lodge, though many locals (and even some tourists) have gone looking. And yet, one day, there it is. The cabin sits among the trees, alone in the forested hills. It's not run-down, or dilapidated. There's no lock on the door.
