Takunaha/Past

Takunaha (タクナハ) is the third place Fushi visits. The most important people he meets there are Gugu, Rean and Booze Man.

The country is constantly at war with Yanome. However, the reason why is never clearly stated. It could be assumed that, similar to Ninannah, Yanome wants to take over Takunaha for its natural resources. It could also be a political conflict between two similarly developed country.

Geography
Takunaha is much less mountainous than Ninannah or Yanome, mostly covered with flat stretches of grassland and forests near the shore and mountain ranges deeper inside the country. The mountains might also separate Takunaha from its neighboring countries. There is also a river flowing through Takunaha, although it's most likely not suited for any sea vessel because it appears to be rather shallow.

Housing
Housing in Takunaha varies greatly depending on income. People that can't afford a house live in tents decorated with drapes or as beggars on the streets instead. Middle-class citizens live in houses in the towns and villages, and those wealthy or noble enough to afford a mansion live on the outskirts of the town. Unlike the town houses that stand side by side on flat ground, some mansions are partially carved into rocky hillsides.

Clothing
Like housing, the way a person is dressed depends on their income. While poorer people have to make do with very simple clothes, and men and boys usually don't wear shirts, middle-class citizens wear clothes made from better materials and with more accessories such as hats or bandanas. The wealthy and noble people wear the most high-quality clothes with various decorations and beautiful colors, although they lack the multitude of patterns present in commoners' clothes. The one thing that connects all types of clothing is that they're all loose-fitting. Moreover, no matter what social class a woman belongs to, she always wears a tight choker-like necklace. As with clothes, patterns and colors vary.

Booze Man's Shop
This unique tower is originally the home of Booze Man, who runs both the brewery and the shop completely on his own. Later on, Gugu, Fushi and Pioran move in and help run the shop. Fushi spends the majority of his time in Takunaha here, working alongside Gugu and becoming more human: he learns how to speak properly and how to show and interpret emotions.

Fushi treasures this building and uses a replica as his base of operations during the siege of Renril.

Rean's House
Rean's house is a large and luxurious mansion with a luscious garden and three floors. The front of the house consists mostly of archways that serve either as doors or windows to the terrace in front of the actual building. This trend continues for both of the upper floors. The two balconies are connected via staircase and decorated with flower pots. The pavilions at both sides of the building are carved directly into the stone.

This mansion is the stage for Fushi's third encounter with the Nokkers, as well as the most severe one he has experienced up to that point.

The Marketplace
The marketplace is at the center of town and town life, with its abundance of vendors and products, not to mention the constant chattering from all directions.

Gugu used to sell vegetables here before Booze Man took him in after his accident. Gugu and Rean also first met here.

Shin and Gugu's Old Home
After three months of living with Booze Man, the tent Gugu used to live in with his brother is tattered. Gugu spends the nights here after running away from Booze Man's place. He attempts to return to his old life working for Mister, but after ditching his mask, he has to stop working for him and can't find any other work

Religion
There are no religious symbols or buildings present anywhere in town, and neither do any residents ever mention deities or similar beings of higher power apart from monsters. This would mean that the people of Takunaha are for the most part non-religious. However, it is entirely possible that people from a different region of the country do practice some kind of religion.
