Nankaidō
Nankaidō (南海道, literally, "southern sea circuit" or "southern sea region") is a Japanese geographical term. It means both an ancient division of the country and the main road running through it. The road connected provincial capitals in this region. It was part of the Gokishichidō system.
The Nankaidō encompassed the pre-Meiji provincial lands of Kii and Awaji, plus the four provinces that made up the island of Shikoku: Awa, Sanuki, Tosa, and Iyo.

Wish In The Blood
by: Nana KitadeSeemingly swelling larger
Beneath my smooth skin
Is a growing sense of unease, and it's hard for me to
bear
...Because it's so cute.
The world won't return for even one second,
Kneeling to reality.
The day of the full moon brings forth dizziness.
Without opening [the door] any more
I saw the light as it came through [the crack].
"Tears that drip deep red"
...No matter what happens,
The night will turn into day like it should.
"She was an ordinary girl"
Or so the neighbours testified.
Her papa and mama have both been covered by the earth
So the the news ratings went up.
Again today the girl makes her wish,
Spitting at reality.
The day of the full moon brings forth dizziness.
Though her gasping voice that torments me
Can still be heard
Stretching across the thorny path...
A goddess can be seen
Through the window pane.
The day of the full moon brings forth dizziness.
If only she could have cried awkwardly,
If only she could have forgiven them at that time,
If only there had been someone she could have leaned
on...
In that body that knows nothing
