>Look for documents that seem to involve town affairs.
>Searching through the bookshelves for a bit, you find what seems to be a brief history of the town, compiled by yourself. It's still more in draft form than a completed document, but it still has a list of a number of events in the town's brief history.
>Essentially, it corroborates much of what people had already told you, in more detail. After the great famine during the Year of Winter, the old village was struggling to simply carry on. Shortly thereafter, Kanako arrived with the Moriya Shrine, and promised the villagers bountiful harvests and her protection if they would worship her. The village was soon relocated at the foot of Youkai Mountain, within the heart of Kanako's domain, where she could watch and shelter them more ably. Some people were understandably reluctant to leave their ancestral homes at first, but times were grim and Kanako offered much and asked comparatively little in return. And with the Hakurei Shrine vanished, there was no other spiritual center for the humans living here.
>There were several waves of migration. Many people left eagerly with whatever they could quickly transport. Some tried to remain in the village, but it became increasingly hard to sustain a life there as more people left. The new village was constructed quickly, with some assistance from the kappa in terms of tools and materials, and Kanako's divine powers blessing their endeavors. Since the Moriya Shrine itself was at the summit of the mountain, and difficult for the humans to reach, a branch shrine was established in the village. Evidently, the head Moriya shrine maiden holds ceremonies there on a regular basis, as something of a liaison with the village.
>Although relations with the nearby youkai are still not essentially close, they're friendlier than they would have been in time's past. Kanako ensures that humans are protected from hostile youkai, and has tried to foster co-operation between those who dwell in her domain. With her help, kappa technology is becoming increasingly common in the human settlement, and she appears to be highly motivated to industrialize Gensokyo, as best she can with the available resources.
