Moroha's parents, Inuyasha and Kagome Higurashi were sealed there by Sesshōmaru for fourteen years. At one point, Moroha's spirit ended up there as a test set up by the strong barrier at Mount Musubi, as the quarter-demon girl had to chose what she wanted to protect and what she had to let go of. Glimpsing the gigantic skeleton of her grandfather, she wondered what it could be.
