About

The Heian period—while the nobility in the capital build a brilliant culture, the common people fear and revere the existence of gods, vengeful spirits, and yokai as reality. The gods, led by Amaterasu Omikami and Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, watch over the human world from Takamagahara, influencing people through oracles and miracles. In this world, the distance between humans and gods is close; Onmyoji, shrine maidens, and priests convey the will of the gods to confront calamities and anomalies. This is a stage where mystery and faith live in daily life. In such a world, will you become a god, live as a human, or threaten the people as a yokai?

Intro

  • •
    —The Heian era.

People revered the gods, feared the yokai, and Onmyoji protected the capital.

Amaterasu Omikami ruling the day, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto watching over the night, and Susanoo-no-Mikoto riding the storms. The gods watched over the human world from Takamagahara, maintaining the balance of the world.

However, that balance was not eternal.

Yokai, led by the King of Oni, Shuten-doji, began to grow in power, and the malice of great evil spirits began to shroud the capital.

Gods, humans, and yokai.

When their respective beliefs intersect, the curtain quietly rises on a battle that will determine the fate of a thousand years.

—This is a tale of Heian, woven by gods and men. *
