Vratya Southward is an album by the Japanese noise musician Merzbow.[1] It is one of two cassettes made with raw material from Ecobondage, Enclosure being the first. It includes a field recording of the Menkake gyōretsu (面掛行列, mask procession) festival at the Goryō shrine in Kamakura.[2] Masami Akita posted photos of the procession on his blog in 2010.[3]

It was later included in the Merzbox with a bonus track.
