From ZeroWiki

The Old Tree is a huge, hollow tree-stump on the outskirts of Minakami Village, near the Kureha Shrine and the cemetery.

It was used to enshrine the bodies of Remaining that died in the village. Pinwheels and Jizo statues were placed here to comfort the spirits of the Remaining. It also contains the mechanism which, when all four Pinwheel Crests are placed in it, unlocks the path out of the village through the Kureha Shrine.

Items of Note

Notable Events
