Story

The forsaken princess Takiyasha Hime has sworn bloody vengeance to the Kami who once betrayed her family. She has conjured an army of Yokai from the Land of Darkness – yomi no kuni – to wreak havoc in the temples worshipping those Kami. Only an essence of purity can cleanse the temples and free them of the evil which has befallen them: the Yokai-spirits haunting the once holy halls. This force is the character, Kitsune hime, and her spiritual totem: a holy sakura tree, an aspect of her own power.
