Moon Rabbit Relics

Scythe of Hahen Kokkaku A scythe procured by Priestess Kanna of the Moon Rabbits, who slayed the shinigami of isolation Hahen Kokkaku. The scythe was brought to Luneste as a trophy of the great victory, and Shinto paper streamers and a crescent moon were inscribed upon it that prevented its use by yokai. The scythe is imbued with powerful necromancy magic, so its use is strictly forbidden by the order
Mizugashinagi A moon stone katana used solely for the ceremonial process of birthing a moon rabbit from their incubation fruit. This sword was a gift to the first moon rabbit, High Priestess Tama, from the kami
Gohei of the High Priestess A golden gohei (see Priest and Shrine Maiden Tools) with red and white rope bows and shide. This is the primary means by which the high priestess of the moon rabbits will channel her divine Ki for rituals or for combat.
Usagi Hanma The most powerful of the mallets used by the moon rabbits to make mochi and elixirs. For the most potent of materials, they can only be processed and enchanted by this hammer.
Hama Yumi A sacred bow capable of banishing any evil entity. This bow was wielded by the first emperor Jimmu
Three Great Spears Spears used by three of the greatest warriors in the history of Japan
Shakujo of Kurosuna This staff was owned previously by a now destroyed member of the Kage-Yubi named Kurosuna who previously occupied the position of the void shinigami, now occupied by Shinibana Matsuri. Kurosuna was a powerful white oni caster of dark magic, and used this shakujo to channel his power. The staff was dubbed Momo or "peaches" by General Ishii. In the center of the rings is a black orb with a green outline, very similar to how black holes are described. As a bonus action its user can raise the staff toward a dead body within 5 ft and absorb the body into the staff, whereupon the orb in the staff softly glows, and grows a bit bigger. The souls (and also corpses) of these bodies are still bouncing around in the sphere of the staff, eternally suffering.
