Nekobari Rock

The Nekobari Rock (literally "Root-Spreading Rock") is a massive, strange rock quietly located upstream of the Babame River. It is a mysterious rock, approximately $6text{ meters}$ tall, where the roots of several giant trees cling to its top, making it look like a small forest. It was named Nekobari (meaning "spreading roots" or "separated roots") because the roots of these trees stretch out like waves, connecting the rock to the distant ground. The sight of these roots tenaciously striving to connect with the separated earth conveys the resilience of nature and the strong will of life to survive.
