ZUN did not invent Gensokyo. It has been around for a very long time.

No one with enough brain cells to read Japanese and English would bother wasting time translating it.

Somewhere out there is Gensokyo. Every minute you are not there is a minute wasted anon. Someone else has visited before you and taken quite a bit of notes.

It's been around since his high-school days.
He came up with the idea because there weren't any shrine-maiden games at the time, and he wanted something original and interesting. So there, Reimu was born. Shortly later, he gave her a place to live, and that place was Gensokyo. So of course it's been around for a very long time. And nobody is a bigger fan of it than ZUN himself.

If the Voynich manuscript described Gensokyo it would have been seized by the authorities already.

If I remember correctly, Wonderland was ZUN's inspiration for Gensokyo.

Kisume and her Tsurube family.

If someone could translate these, I'm sure we could find the key to entering Gensokyo. It looks like ZUN already knows though.

What do you mean by that? If you could, please elaborate.

Simple. If there was any relevant information in that manuscript, the knowledge would have been hidden by the Japanese government in the interest of keeping the secret.

You are wrong in assuming the Japanese government knows about Genskyo. For all they know, it is just another fictional world.

Oh hey I remember this. It's some kind of herbs manual, right?

Gensokyo was only created a couple hundred years ago. You think there aren't records of that time?

>> No.6975667

>>6975639
The author seemed to take interest mostly in the flora of Gensokyo, so he was likely a botanist. But the manuscript contains much more not in the slightest related to plants.

The language it was written in remains undecyphered to this day. It would be impossible for a man to create a cypher so complex that years of our modern technology leaves it untranslated. Likewise, its far too detailed and structured for it to be a Hoax.
I wonder which touhou wrote it. Likely Akyu.

>> No.6975673

>>6975667
Akyu speaks Japanese, you dolt.

>> No.6975677 [DELETED] 

Japanese language is really a conspiracy to weed out filthy gaijins.

>> No.6975679

>>6975639
It hasn't ever been successfully translated, and linguistic analysis suggests that it is gibberish. It is a clever fraud made by a charlatan to be sold to superstitious royalty.

>> No.6975688

>>6975673
Akyu had many past lives anon. Who is to say she can only speak one language.
>>6975656
You are confusing the creation of the border with Gensokyo itself anon. Read it yourself if you do not believe me.

>> No.6975706

>>6975688
She lives in Japan, she was raised by Japanese people, she speaks all day with people who speak Japanese.

And the border was the beginning of Gensokyo as a separate world. Again, you don't think records were kept of that time? You don't think people would have noticed?

>> No.6975714

>almost 1000 years ago - Aya Shameimaru settles in Gensokyo

This can attest to the age of Gensokyo being rather old. Possibly predating Aya herself.

And the border was the beginning of Gensokyo as a separate world.

So what does /jp/ think of these? I mean, it cant be a coincidence all of these can relate to Gensokyo.

I recall there being something about spellbooks only being understood by those with magical aptitude.

Eh, please don't copypaste from my posts. It's unnerving.

>>6975747
Of course it's a coincidence, this has absolutely nothing to do with Gensokyo. It's a Western invention, for one thing. You think ancient sorcerors would be able to make the trip all the way to Japan to document the creatures he saw there?

I will try. I shared this with my /jp/ fellows, so in the case of an untimely death, the information would be spread.

If this is not proof of Gensokyo's existence, then I don't know what is.
