I didn't even know that place existed. Thanks for the tip.

Many ways. But my ideas:
- First: Finding a suitable spot. Someone like her (having the authority of a Sage and the powers of a master hermit) should know. She wouldn't just pick a random spot; she'd use her heightened hermit perception to locate a place on Youkai Mountain where natural energies converge optimally. It should be potent yet secluded. This might even be a location naturally resistant to scrying or intrusion.
- Construction via beastmastery and her own Oni strength. This is the easier part, with the small catch that she needs to supervise most things. She probably didn't inquire about outside help because, again, her mansion's location is supposed to be secret. Hermit spatial arts could allow the mansion's interior to be larger or have different properties than its exterior suggests. Rooms might shift subtly based on principles, or corridors could lead to contained natural environments suitable for specific animals. The climate control itself is a function of this managed space, with Kasen setting the parameters and the Senkai's boundaries maintaining them, like a perfectly sealed terrarium. In canon, even when a blizzard occurred outside, the area around her house was in a clearing
- Applying Fangshu (方書) to hide the mansion and turning the area into a Senkai. Fangshi (traditional fangshu practitioners) were often known for their ability to manipulate visibility, perception, and environment, both metaphorically and literally. So the idea of someone using fangshu to conceal their dwelling fits well. Examples include “path-changing” illusions (linked to Daoist control over reality/perception), “world-within-world” magic (Senkai), and control of qi flow to mask presence. Kasen utilized a combination of this to both obscure her home and turn the area around it into a pocket dimension anchored to the chosen location.
