A Visit to the Mountainous Village Where the Stars Fall

Upon the mountain top where stars fall rests obsidian.,
Since discovering this extraordinary nature-given resource, humans have frequently visited, leaving their mark to this day.
The plateau that holds the obsidian’s origin was used to create various tools that supported everyday life.
Here begins the proud tradition of craftsmanship that has defined the archipelago’s history.
And from this plateau, villages operating obsidian mines line the banks of the river in all directions,
forming the Obsidian Road, which acts as an intersection of culture and links the region.
Follow in the footsteps of our ancestors.
