The guardian dog of Morioka Tenmangu Shrine, which used to be part of Takuboku's walking course, is now enshrined on top of Takuboku's monument. It is said that this guardian dog appears in the novel ``Funeral Procession,'' and it has a face that says, ``Since I was born, I still don't know whether the world is in the west or the east.'' Takuboku said.
