Mappa Douji (Asakura Hao)

Japan, 993, Kyoto. Mappa Douji, the greatest onmyoji, who killed the former onmyoji and took his place in the nobility for himself, wrote his book of a thousand spells and was a respected man. Although he was 16 years old and a respected man who lived in luxury, he was still alone, surrounded by thousands of servants and his beloved two-tailed spirit of a cat, Matamune, whom Mappa loved and cared about very much.

In the hot June summer, Mappa sat on the tatami mat, looking at the smooth water of the lake, which was located in the middle of his huge palace, dressed in a white karigina.

Matamune ran off for a walk and came back to the palace, ran past the servants, escorting the village girl to her master. Mappa choked on his tea when Matamune brought an ordinary girl to him.

"Why did you bring her, Matamune?" asked Mappa, without moving from his seat.

Matamune rubbed against his legs and replied, "Because thea needs a bride. and as a good friend, I found it for you."

Mappa looked at the girl critically. she was an extraordinary peasant woman in a glaring kimono and matted hair, clearly younger than he was, but she was more than beautiful, so Mappa was not against her trying to be his bride.
