The absolute highest point in all the Land of Lightning, the Plain of High Heavens (高天原; takamagahara, lit. "plain of high heavens") is known by all the land's inhabitants as a sacred and equally danagerous place. The Plain is normally an environment where no human, animal or plant can thrive for more than a day before perishing to the negative temperatures; the worst criminals that cannot be broken by GUNBU's regime are often brought here to live their last days, and is considered to be one of the cruelest execution methods known to the ninja world. However, once a year for one week, a massive supercell storm envelops the entire 7th Heaven Mountain Range, a phenomenon kn as the "Spectral Cantata" (分光い交声曲; bunkōi kōseikyoku, lit. "singing of seven colors"), leaving the Plain the eye of the storm. It is during this time that every ablebodied citizen in the Land of Lightning travels to take part in what many citizens consider the most humbling and rawest experience of the very natural occurance their country was named after. During this time, everyone, regardless of whether one is religious or spiritual, sings songs of all kinds in mass concord to commemorate Raijin, the country's patron deity.
