Hmm... [He considers, before shaking his head a little] I don't think that's quite the reason.
It's not like it's been completely neglected. This island actually has a very clever purification system in place, using a mix of seals and the Thunder Sakura trees. It even seems like the system was designed with eternity in mind, as it's both durable and simple enough to figure out, so they don't have to worry about losing the knowledge over time.
However...the system still needs an occasional cleansing ritual, or it'll get overloaded. But there doesn't seem to be any local groups that handle the job. Which considering their god is directly involved in the running of the country, you would expect there'd be someone assigned to it.
It's a strange oversight for a god to make. Especially considering the amount of thought and care that went into developing the system in the first place.
