Suwa (諏訪市; Suwa-shi) is a town located in Nagano Prefecture, Japan.

History

Mythology

This section also includes Touhou lore since it influenced Suwa city itself.

Around 2300 ages ago (from 2007 when the MoF took place, so circa 293 BC), Suwako (myth. Moreya) and Kanako (myth. Takeminakata) were born in Suwa. Suwako is presumably older than Kanako.

Great Suwa War

The Great Suwa War happened in the Yamato period, approximately mid-4th century AD.

Suwako Moriya, the native God of Suwa, ruled the small kingdom and controlled Mishaguji capable of cursing. Because she could control a native god, the people of the Moriya Kingdom trusted her, and she became their ruler.

Kanako Yasaka, on the other hand, was on Yamato side.

Initially, Suwako dominated through iron weaponry (this can be seen through her iron rings). The tide changed when Kanako held a thin vine against Suwako's army, making the entire army rusty. Suwako had no choice but to surrender.

Kanako Yasaka became the goddess of the Moriya Kingdom after her victory. Kanako allowed Suwako to be in her shrine. However, people rejected the new goddess. Kanako knew people were unhappy about that, so she created the artificial god Moriya. The god was called differently outside the kingdom. Kanako, no longer having to be the god of the Moriya Kingdom, secretly became the goddess of the mountains.

Assuming Sanae Kochiya is similarly old as Reimu, she was born circa 1988. Her descendant is Suwako, although Sanae did not know this fact before.

Around 2003, when Sanae went to high school, Kanako decided to move their shrine from Outside World to Youkai Mountain in Gensokyo to gain more faith. It was caused by the fact that people on the Earth believed in gods less and less, especially in urbanized areas.

Since the release of Mountain of Faith in 2007, people have prayed to these gods, for example by drawing their images in ema which was shown here.
