  Kumano Kodo, Kumano Hongu Taisha, Tanabe City
In July of 2004 the three sacred sites of Koyasan, Yoshino and Omine, and the Kumano Sanzan (the Three Grand Shrines of Kumano) along with the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes that connect them, were registered on the UNESCO World Heritage list as the "Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range".
The sections of the Kumano Kodo along the coast have mostly been developed over but once you head into the lush and rugged mountain side they are still well preserved.
Walking the Kumano Kodo, like pilgrims have been doing for over a thousands years, is a fantastic way to experience the culture of rural Japan.

 Harvard University Press/Localizing Paradise
Kumano was thus both a real place and a utopia: a non-place of paradise or enlightenment.
It studies Kumano not only as a site of practice, a stage for the performance of asceticism and pilgrimage, but also as a place of the imagination, a topic of literary and artistic representation.
Kumano was not unique in combining Buddhism with native traditions, for redefining death and its conquest, for expressing the relationship between religious and political authority, and for articulating the religious position of women.

Kumano’s Pure Land was open to women who were excluded from other sacred sites because, it was claimed, the blood of menstruation and childbirth rendered them too polluted to enter such pure realms.
Kumano’s itinerant nuns preached to women the promise of heavenly rebirth but only as an escape from a more sordid cosmological destiny: a hell of blood to which all women, by virtue of their biology, were damned.

Kumano trades evenly with Myr Enforcer and dies to Molder Slug, for instance, and the Slogger's burn, although limited (~4 times a game) is significantly cheaper.
Kumano's ability isn't as limited as Slogger's, and think about it, you drop Kumano late game, and, yes, he attacks for the same as Slogger, and will probably remove two creatures per turn against Affinity.
Kumano does this a lot slower, but you can use him however many times you like.

In Kumano, the artist assumes the identity of three characters: a messenger wearing a white fox skin, a deity at the shrine from which the video takes its name, and a cyborg in futuristic dress conducting a traditional tea ceremony.
While illustrations of religious history or legend typically place figures in the remote past, Kumano confuses our sense of time with computer-generated, futuristic objects such as the UFO in the sky and the glowing high-tech temple.
Kumano presents a world in which the past, present and future harmoniously coexist.

 Kumano
Welcome to the home page of Kumano Kurouemon, a unique wood-fire art potter who toils in isolation in the snow country on the "back side" of Japan.
Kumano's production is small and his pieces until fairly recently were rarely seen outside of Japan (see Writings links).
This site is maintained by admirers of Kumano who believe his powerful works in clay stand out like volcanoes on the rim of the Japanese pottery tradition — distinctive, beautiful, challenging — and should be experienced by as many lovers of ceramics as possible worldwide.
