Kushiyama (串山 Kushiyama?) is a fighting stage first introduced in Samurai Shodown IV. It follows the staple Samurai Shodown scenario surrounded by a bamboo forest, similar to Jubei’s Kochi and Bamboos, and Shizumaru’s Bamboo Forest, except by the fact that there are no destructible bamboos.

In Amakusa’s Revenge the stage introduction shows some bamboo leaves falling. The battle takes place in the middle of a green, dense bamboo forest during daylight. There are three big bamboos in the front (two in the left side and one in the right); two small green plants are also showed. Occasionally, rays of sunlight penetrate the treetops at certain angles and hit the ground. In the center of the background can be seen a path that leads to Amakusa Castle; another path is found in the right side of the stage. After Amakusa appears during the battle or if Explosion Gauge ends, the forest changes into a dark effect that seems the bamboos to be dry, and the sky flashes of purple and pink, giving the impression that Amakusa Castle is radiating high amounts of evil energy. Some leaves starts to fall.

Musical theme[]

Default background theme for this stage is the ambiental song called "Bamboo Thicket" (竹林 Chikurin).
