In Edo's realm, where moon's soft glow does play, A tapestry woven, night's embrace holds sway, A saga told in whispers, woven thread by thread, Where yokai roam and shadows tread.
Canto I: The Yokai's Whisper
Beneath the moon's ethereal light, In Edo's heart, shadows take flight, The yokai's realm, where spirits dwell, A tale of old, their secrets swell.
The kage-oni, dark and fierce, From hidden depths, their power pierce, In Edo's heart, their presence bloom, Amidst the night's eternal gloom.
