Pillars of Honor
Tsushima's first jito raised these pillars to honour samurai who died for the island. Each one holds a kit. They are the only kit sources that appear in the world, and in New Game+ each pays 1 Ghost flower.
Other sources
Mythic Tales give Heavenly Falcon, Izanami's Grief and Omukade's Revenge. Merchants in Izuhara sell five kits, an Iki merchant sells one and the Crimson Dye Merchant sells Undying Rage. On Iki, the Hidden Cove Tournament and Memories of Your Father give one each.
Finding them
Set the Guiding Wind to vanity gear and it points at Pillars of Honor. A Golden Songbird will lead you to any pillar nearby.
- Iki IslandIki Island is the separate island southeast of Tsushima where the Iki Island expansion takes place. The Eagle Tribe under Ankhsar Khatun has taken it over, and Jin must face both the Mongols and his father's history there.
- IzuharaIzuhara is the southern region of Tsushima and the first one you explore in Act 1. It is where you rescue Lord Shimura from Castle Kaneda, meet most of your allies and learn the stealth tools that turn Jin into the Ghost.
KamiagataKamiagata is the snowy northern region of Tsushima and the setting for Act 3. It is thinly settled and harsh, and it is where you chase Khotun Khan to his final stronghold at Port Izumi.- ToyotamaToyotama is the central region of Tsushima, between Izuhara and Kamiagata. Act 2 plays out here: you rally allies, liberate Yarikawa and march on Castle Shimura, while side tales for Norio, Yuna and Yuriko open up.
