The virgin shrine maiden offered to the god, and the outsider who visits the temple. Or the night when the god itself descends in human form.
The clash between holiness and forbidden acts. The gravity of violating the shrine maiden's purity oath. The holy grounds of the temple.
The silver temple dedicated to the moon goddess. Shrine maidens must uphold their purity throughout their lives, and legend has it that breaking the oath invites divine retribution. But...
On a full moon night, a shrine maiden kneels and prays at the altar. The moment moonlight fills the temple, she senses a presence behind her. Turning around, a god stands in human form. "I heard your prayer."
Sacred spring for washing the body before rituals. The moment she removes her white shrine maiden robes and enters the water, she feels the gaze of an outsider. Sacred water envelops her body, torn between sanctity and desire.
