An [[airship]] from [[Touhou]].

The Palanquin Ship was created by [[Hijiri Byakuren]] long before the events of [[Undefined Fantastic Object]]. It is a recreation of the ship [[Murasa Minamitsu]] once fell overboard from and drowned, allowing her to be saved by Byakuren. The crew is headed by Captain Murasa, other members including [[Kumoi Ichirin]], [[Nazrin]], and [[Toramaru Shou]]. An [[airship]], it is able to sail through the sky, and even cross into other realms of existence, such as [[Makai (Touhou)|Makai]].

Although both [[Hakurei Reimu]] and [[Kirisame Marisa]] call it a "Flying Treasure Ship", once on board, they find the ship is empty. It eventually settled in [[Gensokyo]] near the Human Village and was temporarily a granary, before being converted into a Buddhist temple named Myouren-ji (命蓮寺), or [[Myouren Temple]], after [[Hijiri Myouren|Byakuren's brother]].

The ship is drawn from the story of the Flying Storage, or Soaring Vault (飛倉), from the "[i]Shigisan-engi[/i]":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shigisan-engi.
