I'm trying to figure out where that town is, exactly, I've never heard of it........

[Shubunkin]

Is there a Web site for this?

That is great.

Charitina, I posted the link to the article Aria quoted from. Or are you talking about a website to find out where the village is? I googled it, and didn't find anything, except a hint that it might be in the vicinity of the Urals, which is the far western part of Siberia; that could explain why I've never heard of it - I've never been in that region.......
