Head Priest

Description[]

The Head Priest (神主) is the most importal person of Mibu Village.

As Basket Wearer Shosuke explains, the Head Priest has been encouraging the villagers to drink a lot of sake to become "citizens of the palace".

He sits in a corner of his house, gulpling sake, while a mob of villagers stands just outside his door.

Location[]

Water Mill: inside the temple just before the Corrupted Monk. The building can only be entered from under the front porch via a rotating door.

Dive down the puddle in front of the Okami Spear-Bearer and the Palace Noble before the Flower Viewing Stage Sculptor's Idol to reach a secret room with a chest that contains the Water of the Palace.
