🌸This tree and its roots remind me of Yukine's last resting place under the sakura tree
At the same time, a lot of capypas, torii, and the pillar with kanji 'offerings' between the roots look like allusion to the Ne-no-kuni, 'Land of roots', one of the Shinto underworlds and worlds of the dead, carefully covered with Yato's white kariginu🌸

🌸Mirror, huh?👀 My minds don't stop wandering around this
"He was so desperate for someone to play with..."
"Mizuchi won't play with me" - "Join me again and we'll have some real fun!"

What's the shed?
In ch.101 "For whose sake" Father pushes Yato into the barn with garden tools
Since then it became a constant backdrop to the battle between father and Yato
I know how Adachitoka love symbolism and visual allusions. But nothing comes to my mind here.... Except, perhaps, father's wish.
In Japanese it's 'mabike' -間引け - 'i want a cull'
That 'mabiku' (間引く) verb has different meanings in Japanese, like, 'to reduce, to cut down; to run on a curtailed schedule; even '..to kill a newborn child (due to financial difficulties)'. But most common meaning is 'to thin out; to cull (plants, seedlings, crops, etc.)' refers to agriculture and gardening 🥕👨🌾
Not the first time in the manga something figurative turns into something literal, or conversely, like, sakura tree into Sakura, or spring tree into Haruki, 'life line' to the literal rope etc. So we get new clue, huh?🌸

Chapter 103-2/104-1 Thoughts
[Part 1 (HERE)] [Part 2 (TBA)]
Happy extremely belated New Year’s, everyone - it is now February of 2023 buuuut this is my first meta of the year, so. :P
These Noragami thoughts where brought to you by “3 AM coffee and write the chapter thoughts post because it will never get done otherwise.” And don’t let the title fool you: this is a “Chapter 104-1 + 103-2 + ‘other chapters I didn’t do posts for’ + ‘elaboration on previous works’ Thoughts“ ;P
Note: I had to remove all the links to my sources because Tumblr really hates them and so prevents the post from showing up in the tag. Urgh. Sorry about that.
Thoughts under the cut.
Word Count: 2,100~
Dated: February 6, 2023
Keep reading
