  • (that’s [spoiler]text here[/spoiler]).

  • If you have a question about grammar, vocab, the story, cultural things or anything else related to the book — ask! There’s no need to be shy. If it’s something you are wondering about, chances are someone else will be thankful you asked first, lots of people enjoy answering questions, you learn something new, and the thread gets more lively. It’s a win-win on all fronts!

Finding this chapter generally pretty hard to follow so far.

page 106

帰命寺のご本尊ってどれだ?中央の仏像だろうか?それらしいものは、みあたらない。

So, he says he doesn’t see a central 仏像, but what about this quote about one paragraph earlier??

その中央に、細長い家みたいなものが扉をひらいておいてある。その中のテラスみたいところに三十センチほどの仏像が立っていた。

Is that one not big enough or something? Or because it’s inside of a structure (?) that makes it not the ご本尊?
