Tong-Nou

Tong-Nou is the fictional island on which the game Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong-Nou takes place. The island is located "far to the east", floating above the oceans of Earth. Its appearance is that of a giant green head.
The Five Lands
Tong-Nou has five lands based on the Chinese "wuxing" (or "five elements"), namely:
- Tong-nou, the Central Mountain
- Yui-wang, the Land of Desire
- Mon-chien, the Land of Dreaming
- Ming-ken, the Land of Life
- Shi-chieng, the Land of Time
These lands can be entered through different parts of Tong-Nou. The Central Mountain can be entered through the symbol on the back, Yui-wang through its left ear, Mon-chien through its left cheek, Ming-ken through its right ear, and Shi-chieng through its right cheek. Another important location is Hou-ang, the Phantom Marketplace, but it isn't a land.
Other interactions
There are several ways to interact with the island besides entering one of the lands. If its mouth is interacted with, it will stick out its tongue three times. If the nose is interacted with, it will sniff a few times.
Trivia
- The head is played by Osamu Sato himself.
- This location is the "Eastern Mind" that the game's title refers to.
