God's Mountain is set in a poor Samurai-era village in ancient Japan. Severe food shortages often forced older people to go to God's Mountain to die so their children would not starve. By sacrificing themselves in this way, the aged ones showed their sincere love for their families and believed that the mountain was the gateway to a fertile and beautiful world.
