	Onmyodo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Until the middle of 19th century when Onmyodo was prohibited as superstition, it was under control of the imperial government, and then later its courtiers Tsuchimikado family.
		In the Heian period, Onmyodo told peers how their life should be organized and protected from misfortunes and malicious spirits.
		Onmyodo spread out from the court to commoners, merged with other beliefs and occultism, developed itself from the Chinese imported thoughts to a syncretism found only in Japan.

	Abe no Seimei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abe no Seimei (安倍晴明 921?-1005?) was a leading specialist of onmyodo during the middle of Heian Period.
		According to plot of Tokyo: The Last Megalopolis, Kato is supposed to really be a culmination of the dead, resentful souls of the onmyoji striking out against the foreign renovation invading Japan during the 1920s.
		Since Kato possesses so much power in the magic of onmyodo, it could even be inferred that he is actually an incarnation of Abe no Seimei's dark side.

		Onmyodo itself, as its name suggests, is Japanese Daoism.[3] Daosim was brought into Japan very early in Japanese history over a period of possibly three centuries from the sixth to eighth century century c.e.
		Onmyodo is a science—a method of understanding the phenomena of nature based on the methodological paradigms of theory, operationalization, and observation.
		As explained in the previous chapters, Onmyodo is an early attempt to form a empirical paradigm as a means to allow its practitioners to see the world as structured upon the principles of onmyogogyo.

	Onmyodo
		The onmyodo practitioners were consulted on everything, from the siting of the imperial capital, to the performance of state ritual, the interpretation of supernatural signs, and, most importantly, divining the fate of Emperors, Courtiers, and the nation.
		Possibly the earliest of the onmyodo disciplines to reach Japan in the sixth century A.D was that of jugondo.
		Today, the term onmyodo is unknown even amongst many of those people who, under a different name, practice the various surviving elements of this ancient mystical, curative, and magically ameliorative tradition.

		Some understand Onmyodo to mean Japanese Taoism, because many of their methodologies and metaphysics were clearly Taoist.
		As a result, Onmyodo is becoming more important to seekers, as can be seen not only in the recent popularity of Seimei, but in the appearance of Onmyoji as regular characters in various Manga that are read by young people all over the world.
		As the Onmyodo methods and Yijing mysticism spread beyond the walls of the imperial palace, they worked their way into folk magic and religion and lost their distinctiveness.

		Onmyodo (The Way of Yin and Yang) is a combination of esoteric Buddhist (Shingon) and Taoist teachings imported from China.
		Onmyodo is built heavily on Taoism, so if they're considered anything at all, it would be Taoist.
		The amount of overlap between Shinto and Onmyodo is almost negligable.

		The onmyodo practitioners (called onmyouji [陰陽師]) were consulted on everything, from the siting of the imperial capital, to the performance of state ritual, the interpretation of supernatural signs, and, most importantly, divining the fate of Emperors, Courtiers, and the nation.
		Possibly the earliest of the onmyodo disciplines to reach Japan in the sixth century A.D was that of jugondo [呪禁道].
		Over the centuries, however, the various arts and practices of onmyodo gradually became absorbed into Shinto and Buddhist tradition, and also into the disciplines of the shugenja [修験者], and other ascetic groups, to the point where onmyodo - as a distinct tradition in it's own right - to all intents and purposes ceased to exist.

		It is through the long term efforts of warrior monks who came to reside at the Dewa Sanzan Shrine, that the Kaze Arashi Ryu has survived to this day.
		Most of the inner teachings and ideas passed on within Kaze Arashi Ryu are correlated with the philosophies of mikkyo (esoteric buddhism), onmyodo (taoist divination), mushin (empty mind), and harai (purification) contained within Shugendo.
		These ideas are not unique to traditions stemming directly from Shugendo, and have influenced any number of classical martial traditions of Japan to a greater or lesser degree in the past.

		He then told the monk that he'd be happy to teach him onmyodo, on some more auspicious calendar day.

		Parralels Between Chaos Magick and Onmyodo -- Anyone else notice this??
		You can watch some interesting movies/anime where a Taoist priest (Chinese) or Mikkyo Buddhist/Onmyoji (Japan) will paste like a strip of white paper to a wall, with kanji written on it--it often seems to be used to purify a place or ward off demons.
		The entire thing strikes me as being fundamentally the same as sigil magick (at least in form, though not necessarily in intention), but also Onmyodo and Chaos Magick share another parralel in the use of servitors, or shikigami as they're referred to by the Japanese.
