*screaming*

I HAVE AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

AFTER NINE MONTHS OF THIS MAP VEXING ME:

I HAVE FIGURED OUT WHAT LOCATION IGURO REPRESENTS

It's Myomanji Temple, new home to the temple bell that trapped the jilted-woman-turned-snake-demon in a legend from Dojoji Temple in Wakayama, and which happened to be the Kabuki play Iguro represented in the official Kimetsu-Kabuki collab. To clarify, the above images are from the second official Kyoto City/Kimetsu collab which took place shortly after the Kabuki event. Seems Myomanji is also a hot spot for poet society. That's sweet, since poetry is one of Iguro's official hobbies.

I knew my studies were leading up to something. *fist pump* EDIT: This post doesn't feel complete until I list the others on the map (or at least my interpretations of it):

Nezuko: Kawadoko restaurants in Kibune, built over the riverside Tanjiro: Kifune Shrine, home to the water god Urokodaki: Kurama Temple, home to the legend of Ushiwakamaru (later known as Minamoto no Yoshitsune) training under Kurama Tengu, and a modern-day giant Tengu mask statue Rengoku: Mt. Hidari-Daimonji/Ookitayama, lit up with big fires every year for O-bon Haganezuka: Shimogamo Shrine, the birthplace of mitarashi dango Kanao: Based on location, I'm guessing Kyoto University (original guess was Doshisha University, but Shinobu was being studious too so maybe that's where she is, not on this map) Giyuu: The Lake Biwa Canal, located in a popular maple leaf viewing area, we might as well say he's taken the whole Philosopher's Path that day Uzui: Minamiza, the Kabuki theater Muichiro: Based on location and five stories, probably Daigoji Temple, home to the oldest pagoda in the city (but my first guess was Toji Temple, the tallest pagoda). Zenitsu: Fushimi Inari, the obvious, for its foxes and torii gates Mitsuri: The map isn't exactly to scale, but since she's eating sakura-mochi, I feel she should be further west toward the better known sakura-mochi shops Shinazugawa: Kinda in between two famous ohagi shops that are known to run out of stock early Inosuke: Like, I don't know, the fish has me uncertain. Given the bricks, I'm guessing Takase-gawa, the small man-made river for cargo transport that runs alongside the more famous Kamo River. He's not on the map, but Himejima is playing the Shakuhachi on any given bridge spanning the Kamo River decorated with kiboushu (the caps on the posts). Since he played Benkei in the Kabuki collab, which is wildly appropriate given he is a warrior monk with absurd strength, I like to believe he's at Gojo Bridge, where Benkei met his future master Yoshitsune. (Actually, due to changing streets throughout history, they'd have been at the bridge north of that one, modern day Matsubara Bridge. Sigh, technicalities.)
