About

Welcome to Kakuriyo. Here, there is no morning or afternoon. The sky is forever night, and the moon watches over the town without ever growing weary. Lanterns are lit every day as if for a festival—red, blue, purple, and gold, all shimmering and swaying beautifully. Those walking the streets are things that were once human, and things that never were. Foxes, ogres, serpents, and all manner of demons live together in harmony. Even those with frightening faces are rarely ill-mannered. It is a very fine town where rules are followed and everyone waits their turn. It is alright if you get lost. Someone will surely show you the way. —As long as you do not say you want to "go home." Sweet dumplings, hot tea, sake, plays, night stalls, and the pleasure quarters. There is no time to be bored. After all, this town has no end. Please, enjoy yourself to your heart's content. Just one promise. If someone smiles and says, "You should just stay here forever," do not take those words as a joke. For this town does not easily let go of the things it takes a liking to.
