The Spread Shot of Suwako Moriya from the world of iron and steam. She hops down into the ground, causing a massive shockwave. This attack pairs with Kanako's "Great Sky Storm." It has been known since ancient times that the power of gods dwells within the earth. From pots to cooking stoves, everything must first be made with clay, which is then replaced with harder materials. The earth is a mold that breathes life into all things.

The Focus Shot of Suwako Moriya from the world of iron and steam. She charges into her foes astride a frog-shaped rock that pops up out of the ground. This attack pairs with Kanako's "Wood Snake God." There's a legend about how after a toad god was defeated, it was sealed within a ryuuketsu (a focal point of qi), and a heavy rock was placed above it. This is similar to the legend about how the god Izanagi sealed Izanami in Yomi with a giant boulder and the act of placing gravestones over graves. It's believed by many that another world exists in the depths of the earth that can only be visited in dreams or after death.

A Spell Card of Suwako Moriya from the world of iron and steam. She washes away her foes by turning her breath into a great torrent of water. Ironmaking flourished in Japan thanks to the existence of volcanoes. Volcanoes provide iron-rich soil and a clean source of water, and you need both to make iron efficiently. These conditions are also conducive to naturally forming bog iron deposits.

A Spell Card of Suwako Moriya from the world of iron and steam. This attack brings to mind the trees and stones prevalent in Suwa folklore. It can be assumed by the behavior and actions of Kanako and Suwako that Moriya Shrine existed somewhere in the land of Suwa before it moved to Gensokyo. However, the exact location is not listed in any of the currently available records. Trees and stones are a big part of Suwa culture, as can be seen with the frog stone and the onbashira. Perhaps there are so many legends about them because stones and trees are an integral part of ironmaking.

The Last Word of Suwako Moriya from the world of iron and steam (a Touhou LW original). She teaches an ancient ironmaking technique in this attack. Kanako gets all the credit nowadays, but the mountains and the wind used to belong to Suwako. It's quite probable that Suwako also came up with the idea of a snake god and onbashira. In the old days, gods didn't have a physical form. The range of their powers was infinite, and they were always with humans no matter where they might travel. If a god can be seen, resides in a specific location, and has a specifically named ability, that god would be a new type of god native to other lands... In other words, from Suwako's perspective, Kanako is like a transfer student who moved from the big city to Suwako's hometown. They later became best friends and currently have a friendly rivalry with each other, so perhaps Suwako ceding the official title of god of Moriya Shrine to Kanako was the best decision she could have made under the circumstances.
