Summary
Looks like this article or section is a stub and missing info. You can help out by expanding it.The Remembrance Garden is the remembrance site for the departed Majiri of Kilima Village. Located south of the village proper, this landmark location of Kilima Valley is built on top of a rocky outcropping direct bordering Kilima Lake.
While visually similar to a graveyard, it does not actually contain any buried bodies, as the Majiri of Kalima Village hold all burials at the wellspring at the top of the mountain.
It is the location of the Hidden Quest Paying Respects and a key location during Ashura's quest A Bouquet of Sunshine.

Visuals
The Remembrance Garden is visually quite unique when compared to the rest of Kalima, with many assets that can not be found anywhere else.
The area is separated from the rest of the valley by being situated slightly above ground level, on a rocky outcropping directly next to the lake. To further separate the area, it is surrounded by a ring of giant, thick-grown trees, decorated with ropes, horseshoes, and wind chimes. Between the trees and shrines run many garlands made of many small red banners.
The center of the garden is another decorated tree, in front of which is a large remembrance site including a stone altar, a bell, and many candles and lanterns. Sprawling out from the center are multiple stone walkways that form two rings, around which the many shrines of the garden are placed.
There are several kinds of statues and wooden markers placed all around, sometimes in combination with candles or plate-like incense burners, which make up the many shrines of the garden.
Inside the garden is a constant unique visual effect of leaves falling and swaying in the wind.
Audio
When entering the Remembrance Garden, a slow song featuring wooden flutes will play, giving the garden a melancholic and peaceful ambiance.
Shrines
As a remembrance site, the Remembrance Garden is home to a number of cenotaphs dedicated to previous inhabitants of Kalima.
The sites can be divided into two groups: family shrines and personal shrines.
Family Shrines
These shrines are the biggest in the garden, made up of several statues and decorative pieces each. When interacted with, they display the associated family name as well as the family's proverb or motto.

Personal Shrines
These smaller shrines are made up of two or three wooden markers, sometimes including sparse decoration. When interacted with, they display the deceased's name followed by a short epitaph. Several of these shrines, mostly those at the edge of the garden, are dedicated to former members of Prismbeard's crew. Interacting with these shrines is part of the quest Paying Respects.

Trivia
- The rope decorations around the trees in the garden might be inspired by real-world religion and folklore. The ropes could be a reference to "Shimenawas", which are sacred ropes found in Shinto shrines to symbolize the sanctity or purity of the decorated objects, while the integrated horseshoes might reverence the western symbol of the "lucky horseshoe", which states that a horseshoe turned with its opening to the sky will catch luck from the heavens.
