👥 Known user
• Kyojuro Rengoku (Flame Pillar): the ultimate exponent, he inherited and elevated the style with his unwavering passion. His father, Shinjuro, also mastered it, but Kyojuro is the most iconic user.

The Taishō era (1912-1926) is a world of contrasts where tradition and modernity clash. On one hand, ancient customs persist: the young Tanjiro sells charcoal in the snowy mountains, and Demon Slayers use Nichirin swords forged with ancient techniques. But at the same time, progress takes hold with telephone poles and cables bursting into the villages, creating an almost anachronistic atmosphere.

This duality is reflected in the clothing: the hunters' uniforms blend Japanese school uniforms with early 20th-century military cuts, while in the Red Light District or on the Infinity Train (an 8620 locomotive), Western fashions and technology are on display. However, this veneer of modernity doesn't mask the fragility of life: the absence of adults reflects an era marked by wars and disease, forcing teenagers to bear the brunt of the struggle. In the shadows, demons—beings who refuse to accept this new age—lurk, creating a scenario where the supernatural and the historical merge in a dance of light and darkness.

The meeting place for the Pillars in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is the Ubuyashiki Mansion (also known as the Ubuyashiki Clan Mansion). It is the residence of the Demon Slayer Corps leader, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, and his family, and serves as the headquarters and meeting point for official Pillar meetings.

Here is a detailed description of this iconic place:

• Location and Access: It is situated on a mountaintop in an extremely remote and isolated area. Its exact location is a closely guarded secret known only to a few high-ranking members of the Corps. For added security, access routes and security personnel change frequently.
• Appearance and Style: It is a large, imposing traditional Japanese mansion that has belonged to the Ubuyashiki clan for centuries. It is surrounded by a complex system of protection. A crucial detail is that the mansion is immersed in an environment of wisteria, a flower poisonous to demons, which serves as a natural defensive barrier.
• Function and Purpose: Besides being the home of the Ubuyashiki family, the mansion is the main setting for the "Pillar Meetings" (Hashira Kaigi). These meetings are held regularly twice a year, or extraordinarily when a serious threat arises. It is here that the Pillars receive direct orders from Kagaya and discuss the most important strategies against Muzan Kibutsuji.

It is important not to confuse it with the Butterfly Mansion, which is the residence of Shinobu Kocho and functions as a recovery center for injured hunters, although it is also a key location in the story, it is not where the main meetings of the Pillars are held.

Butterfly Mansion (or "Butterfly Estate")

It is the medical and rehabilitation center of the Demon Hunter Corps.

• Residents and staff: It is home to Insect Pillar Shinobu Kocho, her tsuguko Kanao Tsuyuri, and assistants Aoi Kanzaki, Sumi Nakahara, Kiyo Terauchi, and Naho Takada. The nursing staff are usually members without combat talent.
• Function: It is a recovery center for injured demon slayers. Shinobu treats the patients, assisted by the Kakushi (logistics staff). Demon-fighting substances are also manufactured there.
• Facilities: It has rooms with several beds and windows for convalescents, and rigorous rehabilitation training is carried out.

Blacksmith Village: A hidden village in a forest where the blacksmiths who forge Nichirin blades live. Its location is a top secret.

Mount Fujikasane: The site of the Final Selection for new demon slayers. It is filled with captured demons and surrounded by wisteria (poisonous to them) that keeps them trapped.

Mount Natagumo: Scene of a crucial battle against the Spider Family; the protagonists arrive here badly injured and are taken to the Butterfly Mansion to recover.

Yoshiwara District: The Entertainment District, a lively place with numerous brothels such as Tokito House or Kyogoku House.

Asakusa: A modern district of Tokyo.

Mount Sagiri: Training ground of the former Pillar/Hashira Sakonji Urokodaki, where he trains hunter candidates.
