Questions about Inuyasha Universe Geography 2 Years, 9 Months ago Karma: 0
Hi everyone,

This might be a long shot, but I'm looking for geographical markers for places discussed in the Inuyasha universe. Of course, I know that Inuyasha is fictional and that many places described in the manga/anime are fictional, but I always like tying fiction to reality.

As an example, I have drawn some comparisons between Sesshomaru's family crest and the Azai Clan of Odani-jou. Odani-jou is in Shiga Prefecture, which is one of the western provinces in Japan, and the Azai Clan's emblem/crest is a hexagonal pattern with flowers in the center of each hexagon. This is why I have fictiously set Sesshomaru's palace at Odani-jou in my story, Inevitability. And we also know that Edo was the former name of modern day Tokyo.

So, I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts or insight as to wear Mushin's temple, the demon slayer village, and the kitsune school may be geographically in Japan as we know it.

Would love to hear your theories/reasoning!

I think there's an old thread here that answers your questions. I can't look for it now, but I'll try searching sometime this week to see if I can find it.

Oooh, that map is lovely! o:
I was just thinking about this sort of thing the other day. I'm currently reading the manga and it's pretty much never stated which way the group is going--only ever names of places.
