This is from a videogame know as 零~月蝕の仮面~「ぜろ~つきはみのかめん~」in Japan, as Project Zero 4: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse in Europe, and as Fatal Frame 4: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse in America.
The premise of the story is about 朧月島「ろうげつとう」which is a fictional island located off the south of 本州, where they had a believe that anybody that died in the island could not move on to the other side and were trapped in the island to wander as 亡者 「もうじゃ」vengeful ghosts corrupted by 穢れ「けがれ」who can't move on to the after life. An aglumeration of these ghosts on the island would cause disruption in the souls of the living, and it would manifest in a contagious mental disease called 月幽病「げつゆうびょう」(Moon syndrone) in which the infected would lose their memories and their sense of self, to the point that they wouldn't recognize themselves on the mirror and be afraid of themselves, and it would even reach a point in which their faces would blur get distorted, which is a phase called 芽吹き or 咲く (budding or blooming). The bloomed patient would be entranced by the full moon and they would be compelled to commit suicide.
To avoid these disease, every 10 years, on the night of a lunar eclipse, the residents of the island would perform a ritual which had two names, the 朧島神楽 「ろうげつかぐら」or 帰来迎 「きらいごう」. For this ritual they would choose an 器「うつわ」a vessel, which would be a dancer, and 5 奏「かなで」, 5 girls providing instrumentation/music to the 器. The 5 奏 would be placed strategically at 5 different points forming a pentagram around the 器. All watchers, 奏 and 器 would be wearing masks. The 器 would be wearing the perfect mask, the titular 月蝕の仮面 (Mask of the Lunar Eclipse) a mask that would confer her the ability to become nothing, as in lose herself and become blank, because as the music plays and she dances in the middle of the pentagram formed by the 奏 she becomes an 器 (a vessel) for all the ghosts that didn't past on. It was believed that the moon was the door to the afterlife and when the eclipse happened every 10 years, the door would be open. So, it was the 器's task to allow herself to be possessed by these spirits and while in this entranced state while dancing, she would guide those spirits to the eclipsed moon to pass over. Of course, the last ritual failed, the Mask of the Lunar Eclipse broke and the 器 bloomed (her faced became blurred/distorted) and a lot of awful and creepy consequences happen and the game takes place. Which I won't spoil in case anybody here would like to try out this game. All this is basically the lore, premise and setting of the game.
This text right here, talks about the 月守「つきもり」, the shrine maidens who oversee the ritual and choose and train girls to become the 器 and 奏. The last paragraph of the the first page contain two kanji that I haven't seen in my life and I can't find them anywhere. Based on the context and text I provided, what would this kanji be. Are they an alternative form of more common kanji?
