While participating in the creation of Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, Hiroshi Aramata was inspired by discussions with anthropologist Komatsu Kazuhiko about sources of the strange and the mysterious in Japanese folklore.

Thus, as a side project, Aramata began work on a fantasy romance that would incorporate lesser known concepts of the occult into recognizable Japanese history.
