Way back in 2009, in the old Okami thread of the SpeedDemosArchive forum, a user named "tuomii" made the following post: forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/okami_ps261.html#okami_ps261

It is possible to get oob near Tsukle's house.
"Vine the blossom near tsukle's house, then turn away from tsukle's house. From here you jump towards to the other blossom and vine it, jump up to the road that leads to a clover in the far end but don't run there, insted go to the left side close to the edge so you can see the blossom near tsukle's house. Now that you are in position, don't jump or dash just stand still and vine that blossom and when your half way there vine the other one behind you, note that you will gain hight four a short while evey time you vine a blossom so after you gain some hight vine yourself back to the other blossom. Keep vining yourself back and fourth untill you can only vine the blossom near tsukle's house, ps the vine and jump then vine it again to get some extra hight then ps the vine again and jump over the wall.

Hope you understand my explanation, my english sucks"

At first I thought this was a new method for Wawku Early, but reading a few more posts on the following page made me realize this was just a way to get out-of-bounds and fall to lake level. This is, of course, totally useless, but I hadn't seen it before, so I wanted to replicate it on video.

Essentially, by Vining back and forth between two blossoms, you can progressively gain height. This would normally require an Inkfinity stone, but I used the String of Beads. You can't do this infinitely, since eventually you escape the blossom activation radius, but you can get enough height to get over the invisible wall here.
